Cooks notes

  • Just use whatever beans you have in the cupboard e.g. cannellini, haricot, black beans, chick peas etc.
  • Want it hotter!? Then add some fresh diced red chilli.
  • Make it even healthier by wilting a couple of handfuls of spinach into the pan at the end of cooking.
  • The flavours will develop if made the day before. Simply reheat slowly on the hob until piping hot.
