Stovetop Method


In a large pot, fry the onions, garlic and in olive oil for about 5 to 10 mins.


Once the beans and chickpeas have soaked overnight, drain and rinse them and place them in the pot with the onions, garlic, tomatoes and with enough broth to cover. Add the spices, mix and bring to boil. Reduce to a simmer for about 60-75 mins, or until the beans and chickpeas are soft/crushable.


Meanwhile, in another pot, bring water to a boil and add the potatoes and simmer for 20 mins.

Just before the beans and potatoes are done, in another pot, steam the zucchini, mushrooms and green beans for about 10 mins, or until tender.


Add everything together and serve.
