Method

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat and fry the corned beef for 5 mins, breaking up with a spoon until it turns a darker brown and crumbly. Transfer to a plate.
Heat the remaining oil in the pan, fry the onion and carrot for 5 mins, then stir in the garlic and fry for 1 min. Stir in the pesto, stock, butter beans and cabbage. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 6-8 mins until the cabbage is tender. Stir in the peas and season well. Return to the boil for 2-3 mins until the peas are cooked. Stir in the corned beef to warm through, then serve in deep bowls with the bread for dunking.

Tip: Make it in a slow-cooker: cook on low for 2½-3 hrs until the veg is tender, adding the peas for the last 20 mins. Fry the corned beef and stir in to serve.
