½ onion – small chopped
2 cloves garlic – finely diced
½ red pepper – deseeded & diced 1 cm
2 tsp smoky Creole blend
½ tin chopped tomatoes
200ml water

¼ butternut squash – peeled & chopped 2cm

½ tin baked beans – drained of their sauce

Recipe Instructions
| Prepare vegetables as described. Cook rice until done (after 10 – 12 mins it should be soft to touch), drain & reserve. In a saucepan over a medium heat, sweat onion with a little cooking oil until soft & translucent (2 – 4 mins). Add garlic to onions and cook out for 1 minute before adding smoky Creole blend – stir continuously to avoid too much smoke – turn down heat if necessary. Add chopped tomatoes, water, stock cube, red pepper & butternut squash then stir, simmer and cook for 15 – 18 mins (or until squash is tender). Stir through drained beans and allow them to warm through and absorb some flavour for 5 minutes. Finally taste and adjust seasoning (salt, pepper, tabasco & chilli). Serve with long grain rice and optional extras. |
