In the video, the 60-year-old whipped up the tasty meal using leftovers from her freezer and cupboard.
“Olive oil, bag of sofrito (onions, carrots, celery), all in my VERY old @lecreusetuk casserole pot,” she wrote, before adding in tomato puree, tinned tomatoes, a tin of cannellini beans, a tin of flageolet beans and vegetable stock. After letting the ingredients simmer, she finished it off with dried basil and garlic salt before serving.
