Introduction

This is a wintry comfort dish packed with multiple different types of prebiotic-rich vegetables that deliver a beautiful undertone of sweetness to the meal. The beans, onions, leeks and mushrooms are a powerful combination of nutrient rich and antioxidant rich ingredients that support your gut microbes. The subtle aniseed flavour of tarragon with earthy oregano is also delicious, and the soy adds real body the sauce.
