:: A Year of Ethical Feasting - Chilli Beans

As part of A Year of Ethical Feasting I will be posting a weekly recipe that has been taste tested by me, my family and friends.

This week I am sharing a fab, frugal and fair recipe from my kitchen. It is tasty and hearty and particularly nourishing. YUM!

#1

Chilli Beans

Ingredients

2 cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed

2 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, chopped

1tsp cumin seeds (ground)

1 tsp coriander seeds (ground)

½ tsp chilli powder (or to taste)

½ tsp turmeric powder

½ tsp ginger powder

3 cloves of garlic

2 cans chopped tomatoes

1 large carrot, grated

1 large parsnip, grated

Sea salt or stock powder

1-2 tbsp coriander leaves, roughly chopped

Method

Sauté onion in oil until slightly browned. Add spices, garlic, chilli, ginger and turmeric; continue to sauté for a couple of minutes. Add kidney beans and tomatoes and mix well. Stir through carrot and parsnip. Cook on low heat for 1 hour. Serve with steamed rice and a fresh green salad.

Let me know what you think, I’d really love to know.

Enjoy!
