After a trip to South Africa to see family, I came back with a desire to find the recipe for some of the best beans I have ever eaten; sadly, I didn’t find it, but I did find these, which are a close second.  

 

Ingredients

  • Onion
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp chilli powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 70g tomato paste
  • 200g coconut cream
  • 1 can of cannelloni beans  

 

Method

  1. Fry onion until soft.
  2. Add seasonings.
  3. Add tomato paste and cream.
  4. Add beans and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. Serve with polenta/nshima.  

 

Additional notes

  • Traditionally this would be eaten with your hands.
