Butternut squash, bean and quinoa stew

This delicious hearty vegan stew, packed with protein and fibre, is so tasty, and will definitely keep you full until the next mealtime. Full of spice and creamy coconut milk, the flavour certainly packs a punch. At just over 400 calories, it is one of our more calorific vegan meals, but I think this meal could be probably serve between 4 and 6, so you could always serve yourself a smaller portion.

Instructions

1. Peel and chop the squash into bite-sized pieces.
