Rainbow veg stew

This veg-based dish on a rich tomato sauce can be made in just 3 simple steps; first roast the veg, then prepare the tomato sauce and finally add the bulgur. I have adapted the traditional Spanish recipe ('Pisto') to add extra nutrition, e.g. I have added vitamin and fibre rich beans and a wholegrain (bulgur). That way it becomes a source of all macronutrients, a complete meal. 

A vegetarian stew with 6 vegetables that feeds your gut microbes and is a pleasure to look at and eat.
