  1. 01

    Firstly, I refuse to allow canned products in my house – so all the beans are dry. Get 1 cup of chick peas and kidney beans in a lot of water on the stove. Bring to a boil, cover and turn off. Let stand 1 hour.

  2. 02

    Replace water in chick peas and bring to simmer – cook while everything else is getting started. Get a good sized pot on the stove on medium heat with water or oil – let heat up. Add onions, carrots, celery. Season with salt and pepper and sauté until soft – 10 minutes.

  3. 03

    Add mushrooms that are in season – continue to sauté until the mushrooms start to stick to bottom of pot. Splash some water in to loosen the fond (bits stuck to bottom or pan).

  4. 04

    Add chopped tomato and walnuts, stir for 1 minute. Add tomato puree, paprika, saffron, stir for another minute. Add kidney beans and chick peas (half cooked). Cover and simmer for 1 hour or until everything is cooked. Add the bulgur and stir – allow to stand 45min. You’ll know it's ready when the spoon stands up.
