Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9/ air fryer 190C
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Pull out a large saucepan, a medium bowl, a sieve & a measuring jug

Roast the artichokes

  • Lightly scrub the artichokes with a scourer to remove any grit. Halve the smaller ones and quarter the bigger ones
  • Place the artichokes onto the lined baking tray and toss with 1/2 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 22 mins / air fryer 22 mins

Build the dish

  • Meanwhile, peel and halve the onion, then thinly slice. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Strip the thyme from the stalks and roughly chop. Pick the woody stalks from the kale. Drain and rinse the beans
  • Heat the large saucepan with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add half the garlic and half the thyme and cook for another 1 min

Simmer simmer

  • Stir in the beans, sundried tomato paste, stock powder, creamed coconut and 250ml hot water (125ml for 1 person)
  • Bring to the boil and simmer for 6-8 mins, stirring regularly, until thickened

Last bits

  • After 22 mins of roasting, add three-quarters of the kale alongside the artichoke. Toss with 1/2 tsp oil, the remaining garlic and thyme. Season with salt and pepper
  • Return to the oven and roast for a final 5-7 mins / air fryer 3-5 mins, until the veg is soft and golden
  • Finely chop the hazelnuts and remaining kale
  • Add the hazelnuts and chopped kale to the medium bowl with the juice from half the lemon and 1 tsp oil. Season with a pinch of salt and mix well

Plate up

  • When ready, stir the roasted kale into the stew. Season to taste. Add a splash of water if needed
  • Share the bean stew between bowls, topped with the roasted artichoke and kale hazelnut mix. Serve with the remaining lemon, cut into wedges
