Spicy Baked Beans

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 10 mins | Total: 20 mins | Quantity: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Drizzle of olive oil
  • 1 red onion – peeled and finely diced
  • 2 large cloves garlic – peeled and minced
  • 1 tblsp tomato puree
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 – 1 tsp smoked paprika – though feel free to add more if you love spice!
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tblsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tblsp liquid aminos or sub with light soy sauce
  • 1 tblsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 + 1/2 cups (400g) can cannelini beans (280g drained weight)
  • 1/2 cup (130ml) tomato passata
  • 1-2 tsp mustard – I used dijon but English and wholegrain would work too
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. In a medium/large saucepan gently sizzle the finely diced onion and the minced garlic with a drizzle of olive oil, stirring often, till they start to soften and the onion turns pale and translucent.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients (apart from the salt and pepper) and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly. Taste and season
  3. Serve immediately or cool and keep in the fridge for up to a week (great for the lunchtime hungries!)
