1 medium onion chopped
1 tablespoon Suma Olive Oil and some extra for serving – GT018

Method
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saucepan and add the chopped onion. Gently cook the onion for 15 minutes until translucent and the sugars in the onion have been released. Add the carrots, cook for a further 5 minutes and then add the red pepper and cook for 5 minutes more.
Now put all the spices into the pan, gently cook for one minute before adding the tomatoes and stock powder. Cover with a lid and cook gently for a further 15 – 20 minutes. Add the drained beans and heat through for a few minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving, swirl a little more oil into each bowl, the aromas of the warming spices and oil together will conjure up a Moroccan evening in the Medina in Marrakesh.
