Instructions
Heat plenty of extra virgin olive oil in a large pan and fry the garlic, chilli and onions until soft but not burnt, about 5’ish mins.
Add the cherry toms, sugar and the crushed chilli and cook til the toms are soft, then squish them with a potato masher, now add sea salt to taste, you need a good dollop
Add the kidney beans and heat through before adding the coconut milk and ground almonds. Then squeeze in the tom puree, you need enough to take the creamy colour away and make it red! Taste for spice and add the chilli flakes if required.
Now simmer for 5 mins before serving with wholegrain or wild rice
Nutrition Info
Black beans
Beans in general provide a superb (and inexpensive) amount of protein and fibre. A lot of the starch in beans is ‘resistant starch’, which means it’s is not broken down in the upper digestive tract but remains intact until it reaches the lower parts, where it fuels the beneficial bacteria that live there and makes them happy as Larry. These bacteria are VITAL to good health and they need feeding!
