Spicy baked beans

Serves 6 to 8

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cooking Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

4 T sunflower oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 T ginger, crushed
1 T garlic, crushed
30 g fresh coriander, chopped
2 green chillies, split lengthways but only halfway (if you want it spicier, split them all the way)
2 x 400 g cans baked beans in tomato sauce
6 T tomato paste
salt, to taste

Method

1. Braise the onion in the sunflower oil over a medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic. Once the onion has turned a light brown, caramel colour, add the coriander, curry powder and chillies and braise for a further 2–3 minutes – make sure not to burn the masala.

2. Add the baked beans and tomato paste and cook until the beans have heated through. Sprinkle with salt. Serve hot on toasted sourdough and top with a soft fried egg and crispy bacon. Or eat the beans as they are directly from the bowl with a spoon.

Cook's note: I changed quantities because I am a more-is-more kind of girl. And I used Cape Malay curry powder. I know my friend will forgive me.
