method
Preheat the oven to 190C, fan setting.
Place a large pan over a medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once warm, add the onion, garlic and a sprinkling of salt. Mix well and leave to cook for 5-10 minutes until soft.
Once soft, add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and smoked paprika, mix well and cook for a few minutes before adding the tomato puree, chopped tomatoes, maple syrup, butter beans, red kidney beans and black beans. Mix well and leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes, mixing through a dash of water if the stew ever becomes too thick.
While the stew cooks, place the chopped kale onto a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkling of salt. Mix well and cook for 10 minutes until crispy.
Once cooked, remove the kale from the oven and mix through the stew or serve on the side.
Serve with lots of pepper on top of the stew.
