  • 1 tin of Butter beans (400g)
  • Table spoon of tomato paste

Options For Non-Vegitarians

  • Add a sausage of chorizo

Directions

  1. Chop the onions and chillies so they are chopped finely.
  2. Pour approximately a table spoon of olive oil into a casserole pot that has a lid and place this onto a medium heat
  3. Cook the onions for 10 minutes, or until the onions are soft
  4. Next, add the chillies and fry for 5 minutes
  5. Add the tomato paste, and make sure the onions and chillies are mixed well in the paste
  6. Add the tinned tomatoes and the cube of stock. You can add 50 ml of water to this to ensure that the chilli doesn’t become too thick
  7. Rinse the beans under cold water
  8. Add the beans to the casserole pot and increase the heat to just boiling, and then reduce to a simmer
  9. Place the lid on and let that simmer for about an hour or until the chilli has reduced/thickened
