The Method
Select the SAUTE function, add half the oil and allow to heat. Add the onion (or shallots) and stir regularly for ~5 minutes until they begin to brown.
Add the garlic and stir for a further minute, then add the spices and stir to combine.
Add the cauliflower, carrot, potatoes and pepper and stir for ~5 minutes, then stir in the flour.
Slowly pour in the wine so it absorbs in to the flour and starts to make a thick sauce.
Add the tomato purée, passata (or chopped tomatoes) and stock and stir to combine.
Add the sundried tomatoes, chickpeas and rosemary and stir to combine then press CANCEL.
Close the lid, select the DIY function, adjust the time to 30 minutes and the temperature to 100°C, then press START.
After 10 minutes has passed, open the lid and give everything a gentle stir, then close the lid and allow the program to continue.
After a further 10 minutes, open the lid and stir in the courgette, then close the lid and allow to program to finish.
When the program has finished, open the lid and stir in the spinach and herbs, then close the lid and leave for ~5 minutes until the spinach has wilted. Stir in the rest of the oil and season to taste before serving.
