Ensure to soak your mung beans overnight to shorten cooking time.
Rinse off your beans first and drain. In a deep pan, add olive oil and fry the onion and garlic off for 2-3 minutes. Next add the fennel seeds, ginger, leek and celery - cook for a further 3 minutes Add the mung beans and stock. Cover with a lid on a low-medium heat and cook for 20 minutes until the ming beans become soft. Next add the spring green and broccoli and extra water/stock if needed. Cook for a further 5 minutes. I love it with brown or basmati rice.
