1 Top and tail the carrots, peel wash and leave to drain. Then peel the potatoes, rinse and leave to drain. Cut both carrots and potatoes into cubes. Top and tail the green (snap) beans and, if necessary, remove the stringy thread. Wash the beans, leave to drain and cut or break into pieces.

4 Melt the butter, margarine or oil in a pan. Add the chopped onion, cubed potatoes and beans and fry (sauté) together for about 5 minutes, stirring all the time. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chopped basil stalks and vegetable stock, bring to the boil, cover and continue cooking over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
