Start by adding olive oil to a frying pan or wok and allow it to heat up.

Add cremini mushrooms to the pan and let them sizzle for about 2 to 3 minutes.

Add no soy soy sauce and a little sea salt to the mushrooms, cooking for about 5 minutes uncovered.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and continue to sauté until the mushrooms become a little charred, about 2 to 4 minutes on medium to high flame.

In a separate pan, add olive oil and warm it up.

Add chopped onions, grated ginger, crushed garlic, scotch bonnet pepper, and carrots to the pan and sauté.

Add jerk seasoning, garlic powder, and allspice to the pan.

Add rinsed and drained butter beans, vegetable bullion paste, and spelt flour, mixing well before adding more ingredients.

Incorporate no soy soy sauce, tomato paste, sea salt, and ground black pepper into the mixture.

Pour in water, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar, stirring to combine and scrape the brown crust off the bottom of the pan.

Add green bell peppers, charred mushrooms, and fresh thyme to the pot.

Taste the mixture to adjust sweetness, sourness, salt, and pepper as needed before covering the pot.

Stir the pot and add more water if necessary, adjusting flavors as needed.
