Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 leek, washed, trimmed and sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh gingerroot, peeled and grated
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 onion, peeled and quartered
3 carrots, trimmed, peeled and grated
1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
50 g sunflower seeds
24 g oat bran
1 tablespoon vegetable stock powder, wheat-free
1 (410 g) can haricot beans, drained and rinsed
1 (410 g) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 190°C.
Lightly oil a loaf tin and line the base with grease-proof paper.
Put the remaining oil and the leek in a small saucepan and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes. Add the ginger, cumin and coriander and cook for a further minute. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Place the onion, carrots, garlic, parsley, sunflower seeds, oat bran, vegetable stock powder and one of the cans of beans (either is fine) in a food processor and blend for 20 seconds until semi-smooth. Transfer into a large bowl and stir in the second can of beans and the leek mixture.
Spoon into the prepared tin and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown in color.
Turn out of the tin onto a serving plate. Serve either hot or cold with a salad.
