Recipe Ingredients
1 medium onion – chopped (1-2cm)
1 red or yellow pepper – chopped (2-3cm)
1 carrot – chopped (1-2cm)
1 celery – chopped (1-2cm)
3 cloves garlic – finely chopped
2 tsp creole spice blend
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 tin baked beans – drained of their sauce and rinsed
Optional Ingredients
Optional – cheddar cheese, hummus, coleslaw, baked potatoes, toast
Recipe Instructions
| In a saucepan over a medium heat, sweat onion with a little cooking oil until soft (2 – 4 mis). Add the pepper, carrot and celery cook for a further (2 – 3 minutes). Add garlic and cook out for about a minute before adding spices – stirring continuously to avoid creating too much smoke – turn down the heat if necessary. Add chopped tomatoes, beans and a splash of water (if things look too dry) to saucepan and let everything simmer together for 10 – 15 minutes, the longer the better as this allows the flavours to develop. Finally taste and adjust seasoning adding more salt and pepper to taste – you could even add a splash of tabasco or a squeeze of tomato ketchup. Serve with baked potato or simply on freshly buttered toast – great with cheddar cheese! |
