Tomato, fennel and bean stew

It’s the time of year when I’ve more tomatoes in my garden than I know what to do with and I’m always looking for new ways to use them up. I got my inspiration for this recipe from Genevieve Taylor’s (Bristol based bbq queen) book Seared, but I’ve changed quite a lot to suit my tomato glut and used up various other ingredients that I had in the fridge, meaning you could recreate this recipe using whatever else you’ve got in the fridge too.
My version is quite hearty so I served it with some crusty bread as a mid-week main but it would also work well as a side along with some grilled meat which is how Genevieve suggests doing her version of it.

Steps
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Put the chopped fennel on a baking tray. Coat with 1 tbsp olive oil and season. Roast until soft. Turn occasionally.

Meanwhile in a pan with a lid, fry the onion and garlic in 1tbsp oil over a low heat until soft. Then add the paprika, chilli flakes and mushrooms if using. Once the mushrooms start to sizzle, add the fresh chopped tomatoes, pulses, water and tomato purée. Simmer, covered for 15 minutes stirring occasionally. Then add the cooked fennel and simmer for another 10-15 minutes, uncovered so the mixture thickens/reduces.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, add the lemon juice and stir through the mixed herbs. Serve with crusty bread.
