• 400g flat mushrooms, sliced 1cm thick
• 1 medium eggplant (450g),  cut into chunks
• 400g tin butter or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
• 400g tin chopped tomatoes
• 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1/2 cup pitted black or kalamata olives
• 3 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
• pinch chilli flakes
• 2 bay leaves
• 200g greek feta
• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, finely sliced
• 1 lemon
• To serve: fresh crunchy green salad or steamed green beans

Garlicky yoghurt:

• 1 1/2 cups (375g) Procal’s Authentic Greek Yoghurt
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Flatbread:

• 250g organic, unbleached self raising flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup (250g) Procal’s Authentic Greek Yoghurt

1. Heat oven to 170C.
2. Place a large oven proof casserole dish (you can also convert this recipe into an electric slow cooker), on medium heat and add onion and garlic and sauce for 5-6 minutes or until translucent.
3. Add mushroom and eggplant, toss, then add beans, tomatoes, orange juice, olives, oregano, lemon rind, chilli flakes and toss again. Pop bay leaves in the top, season with sea salt and black pepper, cover and place in oven to cook for 90 minutes.
4. Whilst stew is cooking make the Garlicky Yoghurt by whisking Procal’s Authentic Greek Yoghurt together with garlic and lemon juice, then set aside in fridge.
5. Make the flat breads by mixing flour and baking powder together in a bowl then add Procal’s Authentic Greek Yoghurt and mix until it is just coming together.  
6. Dust a clean kitchen bench with extra flour, pour dough onto the bench then knead for about 5 minutes. Over this time the ingredients should come together beautifully to form a smooth dough.  
7. Roll the dough into a log, cut into 8 even pieces and roll out until approximately 3-4mm thick.  
8. Heat a flat plate or frypan on medium high heat, shake off any excess flour from dough then cook individually 60-90 seconds each side, or until golden brown on each side. Set aside and cook remaining flat bread. Cover until stew is ready.
9. Once stew is cooked, remove from oven, then divide between four bowls and squeeze with lemon. Add delicious Garlicky Yoghurt, crumble feta over the top, sprinkle with mint and serve with flat bread.
