Homemade Baked Beans

ingredients

• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 - 2 tsp Spanish Smoked Paprika
• 300g (1 1/3 cups) Passata
• 1 tbsp Tomato Paste
• 60ml (1/4 cup) Chicken / Vegetable Stock
• 300g Can Haricot (Navy) beans (drained weight 195g)

method

Heat oil in a sauce pan over a medium heat.

Add the garlic and allow to sizzle but be careful not to burn.

Reduce heat to low, add the smoked paprika and stir.

Add the passata, puree and stock and then simmer for around 20 mins (until the sharp taste of tomato has gone and the sauce has thickened.)

Add the beans and simmer for a further 10 mins.
