Method

1. Lightly toast the millet grains in a dry pan. When the grains are a golden brown pour in 230 ml water, one stock cube and a pinch of salt.
2. Bring the millet to the boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for around 15 minutes.
3. Whilst the millet is cooking, heat up the olive oil in a separate pan. Add the chopped white onion, half of the spring onions, the garlic cloves and the large red chilli. Saute until soft.
4. Add the garlic powder, paprika and the cumin – fry until fragrant.
5. Add the drained black turtle beans, the remaining stock cube, diced tomato and 20ml water.
6. Cook the beans mixture until it is soft and the water has gone. This should take around 10 minutes.
7. Plate up your fresh spinach, butternut squash, mushrooms, courgettes and sun dried tomatoes. Once the millet and beans are cooked, add to the plate!
8. Drizzle with tahini and enjoy! We garnished ours with the remainder of the spring onion and some fresh coriander!
