Creamy soft white beans combined with veggies, like onion, carrot, and zucchini. All that is seasoned with various spices to create this rich and flavorful bean pot.

This recipe is plant-based (no eggs, dairy-free). It is made with only whole plant food ingredients.

Cooking in a clay pot takes longer but the time spent waiting is well worth it.
As the pot slowly heats up, all the flavors from the beans, vegetables, and spices mixed together and the result, in our opinion, is truly special.
If you don’t have a clay pot, you can also use a high-temperature resistant glass pot with a lid or a casserole.
