Ingredients

  • 7 ounces red lentils
  • 5 ounces green lentils
  • 1 ounce yellow lentils
  • 1 ounce quinoa
  • 1 ounce sesame seeds
  • 4 ounces black-eyed peas (dried weight)
  • 6 ounces leeks (quatered lengthways, then sliced)
  • 4 ounces celery (quatered lengthways, then sliced)
  • 4 ounces smoked ham, in 1/2cm cubes or 4 ounces smoked bacon
  • 1/2 red pepper (1/2 cm cubes)
  • 400 g plum tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1 1/2 pints chicken stock (home-made)
  • 3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 ounces whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon carom seeds
  • 2 teaspoons fennel seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 6 drops tabasco habanero sauce
  • 100 g parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 50 g Mature cheddar cheese (grated)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato puree
  • salt and pepper
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley

Method

  • Simmer the black eyed beans until tender.
  • In a large frying pan or skillet, fry the fennel and carom seeds in the garlic, butter and oil until fragrant.
  • Add the leeks, celery & red pepper and gently fry until soft.
  • Add the mixed pulses and fry for 2 minutes.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes & tomatoe puree and bring back to simmer.
  • Add the chicken stock and return to simmer, adding the seasoning.
  • Stir in the black ham, 3/4 of the parmesan, half of the sesame seeds, half of the breadcrumbs, parsley, Worcester sauce and tabasco and simmer until the pulses are soft.
  • Add the (soft) black eyed beans and return to simmer.
  • Wisk the eggs and stir into the pan.
  • Pour into a casserole dish and top with the remaining breadcrumbs, then cheese, sesame seeds and finally a sprinkling of smoked paprika.
  • Place into an oven at 200C for 30 minutes - you may need to cover with cling film to prevent the cheese and breadcrumb topping from over browning.
  • Serve with steamed French beans and basil-butter roasted carrots.
