Jamie Oliver 155x255

  1. Peel and finely chop the onions, deseed and roughly chop the peppers and roughly chop the mushrooms. Place everything into a large casserole pan on a medium heat with a tablespoon of oil and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and sweet.

  2. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Add the taco seasoning to the pan and cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes. Tip the beans and their juice into the pan with the tomatoes, breaking them up with the back of a wooden spoon, and season. Leave on the hob to blip away while you make the dumplings.

  3. Drain the sweetcorn and place in a food processor with the flour and cottage cheese, then pulse until you have a rough dough. With wet hands, form 8 round dumplings and pop them on the top of the beans. 

  4. Brush the dumplings with a little olive, then transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until bubbling and golden.

Tip: If you want to go all-out, serve with some smashed avo, coriander and a dollop of yogurt.
