Nourishing Red Curry Bean Stew

I made this beautify hearty and nourishing stew the other night and felt I needed to share!

Full of fibre from sweet potato, with plenty of Vitamin A and C, and red kidney beans which are high folate, iron, B1 and protein, this nutrient-packed warming soup/stew is packed full of flavour.

This stew freezes really well to pull out and defrost for a quick and easy dinner. Simply cook up some brown rice, millet or quinoa to go alongside.

I love to pour some more coconut milk or yoghurt on top as well to contrast the spice in the stew.
