  4. After about 4 minutes and the slices of baguette and cloves of garlic are golden fried, transfer them into a mortar and set aside
  5. Using the same pan with the same heat, add in the chopped vegetables, mix continuously, after 4 minutes and the ingredients are lightly sauteed, add in the paprika and cumin, quickly mix together, then add in 2 tomatoes finely grated and season generously wth sea salt & black pepper, mix together and then simmer for a few minutes

  7. Once the grated tomato has thickened, about 5 minutes, add in the chopped potatoes, drained butter beans and just enough vegetable broth to barely cover the ingredients, then add in the bay leaf and turn it up to a high heat, when it comes to a boil, place a lid on the stock pot and lower to a low-medium heat
  8. While the stew is simmering, move back to the mortar with the fried baguette and garlic, add in the chopped parsley and a kiss of sea salt, using a pestle, pound down on the ingredients until you form a paste-like texture, you can also use a food processor, blender or nutri-bullet
