Directions

Prep 30 minCook 55 min

1
Peel and quarter potatoes, then peel and chop onion. Slice carrots, celery, and mushrooms.
2
Preheat oven to 400°F.
3
Place the mung beans in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook for 10 minutes. Lower heat to medium, and simmer until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
4
Place the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water, and stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook just until potatoes begin to soften, about 10 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
5
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion; cook and stir until transparent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, and mushrooms. Cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in the stock, and add salt and pepper to taste. Cook 5 minutes more. Combine with the mung beans and potatoes in an oven-proof casserole. Cover with a lid.
6
Bake in preheated oven until mixture bubbles, about 30 minutes.
