- Add herbs and pepper, also add bay leaves.
- Cover and leave on low heat on stove or put in an oven for about an hour and a half – two hours, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick.
- At this point taste – check if it needs some salt, sugar more pepper, herbs etc. Meat won’t be done yet but should begin to get softer.
- Add your purple and orange carrots and leave the lid off on the stove – cook for about an hour.
- Add your potatoes and wait half an hour
- Add your celery and pasta. Wait 15 minutes and add your beans, so they stay fairly crunchy.
- Cook for another 20 minutes or until pasta, potatoes and carrots are done.
- Once this cooks it should all be soft thick and ready, you will need to stir it more frequently to ensure it doesn’t stick!
- Serve with Crunchy Bread or add some chilli to give it a bit
