Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/390F
  • Fry the leeks in the oil in a covered pan on the lowest heat for about 15 minutes or until really soft but not browned.
  • Add the garlic and carrot and fry for a further minute.
  • Add the stock and tomatoes and simmer, covered for about 10 minutes until the carrots are softening.
  • Add the aduki beans, thyme and kale and simmer for a further 5 minutes until the kale is just cooked. Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Leave to cool a little and absorb flavours while you cook the potatoes.
  • Bring a large pan of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt and the potatoes. Simmer for about 10 - 20 minutes until the potatoes are fork soft. Drain well. Return to the dry pan add butter and mustard and mash until soft and fluffy.
  • Put the filling into an oven proof dish (I used a stoneware loaf pan), top with the mashed potato. Fluff the potato with a fork and bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes until browned and crisp on top.
