A comforting vegan one-pot recipe you can't go wrong with. It's super delicious, 100% plant-based, protein-rich, unprocessed and low in fat and calories. Ideal weeknight dinner if you ask me.

Feel free to double the recipe and freeze for later. Always nice to have a ready-made homecooked meal for those busy evenings. No more overly processed take-out food for you ;)
