Getting back into a routine after the summer holidays can be tough. Here's a quick, easy and delicious recipe for smoky beans that everyone will love and it'll take about 30 minutes from start to on the table.
Ingredients
1 tsp olive oil
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 can (400g) haricot beans drained
350g passata
1 tbsp Worcester sauce (optional)
2 small chicken breasts, grilled and sliced
Method
Heat the oil in a non stick saucepan, add onion and fry until soft (3-4 mins).
Add the garlic, paprika and stir well.
Tip in the beans, passata and Worcester sauce (if using).
Season well and bring to a gentle simmer.
Cook for a further 5 minutes until sauce is thickened, stirring regularly so it doesn’t catch.
Serve any way you like but here are our favourites:
toast a wholemeal bagel thin and divide the beans between the two halves, topping with the grilled chicken with a salad on the side.
serve in a bowl and swap the chicken for crispy tofu (v), tempeh (v), seitan (v), mackerel or poached eggs and add a mixed salad.
serve over a small jacket sweet potato with a crispy cabbage and carrot salad on the side.
You can add some variety to this recipe by choosing different types of beans such as butter beans or use a can of mixed beans - it's up to you - make it your own!
