  7. Season with salt & pepper. Add the sugar and Marmite (if using). You could also add some vegan Worcestershire sauce.
  8. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
  9. Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees. Peel and cut up the potatoes into thin slices.
  10. Spoon the vegetable & bean mixture into a large casserole dish and top with the sliced potatoes. Brush or spray with a little oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika.
