Method
Heat the oil in a large frying pan or heavy-bottomed pot set on a high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the spring onions, celery, carrot, beetroot, garlic, chilli and salt and cook for 7 minutes, stirring regularly to avoid burning. You’re looking for the carrot and beetroot to break down a little and go a little crispy.
Add the tomatoes, beans, wine, soy sauce, maple syrup, thyme, smoked paprika and a pinch of black pepper. Stir regularly and continue to cook on a high heat until it starts to boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 6 to 7 minutes, until warmed through.
Ladle into bowls and serve with couscous or a good chunk of bread.
