Method
Heat the oil in a large saucepan or casserole over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté gently for about 10 minutes. Add the paprika and 1 tablespoon of the oregano. Cook for another minute.
Add the drained, rinsed beans, the squash, bay leaf and stock, and simmer until the squash is just tender, 10–15 minutes. Then add the greens or beans and corn kernels and simmer for a further 5 minutes.
To finish, season with salt and plenty of pepper. Stir in the remaining oregano if using, leave to settle for a couple of minutes, then serve.
