Bean & Vegetable Hotpot Recipe

The perfect comfort food for any time of year, this delicious beany recipe from Pyrex will come into its own during autumn and winter.

But it can also taste fabulously summery with all those fresh vegetable flavours. 

When the weather's warmer, we enjoy this kind of food al fresco with a large seasonal salad and not too hot, rather than straight from the oven.  Yum!
