When I made this I used 1/2 can each of red kidney, pinto, cannellini and borlotti beans. You can use any beans you like.

Method

Heat the oil in a large saucepan.
Add the onion, garlic, red pepper, coriander and chilli powder,and fry on a low-med heat for approximately 5 minutes or until soft,stirring occasionally.

Stir in the tomato puree, cumin and paprika. Add the tomatoes,
beans, vegetable stock, worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper.

Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 30 minutes.

Can be frozen. Tastes even better the day after!
