Vegetarian Zucchini Chili

• 2 small onions, diced
• 2 zucchini/courgettes, chopped into half moons
• 1 big red pepper, roughly chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 big tomatoes
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 salt and pepper
• 500 grams black beans
• 1 smoked paprika
• 1 cayenne pepper
• 1 chili flakes
• 1 parsley
• 1 Tabasco

1. To peel the tomatoes, pour boiling water over them; the heat will soften their skin so you will be able to peel them easily with your hands.
2. Chop the tomatoes
3. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pot, then add onions.
4. Stir for a minute then add zucchini and red pepper
5. Just before the onions burn, add garlic and chopped and peeled tomatoes.
6. Add between 1 and 2 cups of water and the bay leaf.
7. Cover the pot
8. Bring the stew to a boil and add salt and pepper and tomato paste.
9. Uncover the pot to let the simmering water evaporate
10. When courgettes are nearly cooked through (15-30 min), add beans.
11. As they warm through, add chili flakes, cayenne, paprika and parsley
12. Take off heat and enjoy with some Tabasco :)
