Has anyone a nice recipe for a spicy bean hotpot??

Question

also could anyone give me a hint on how to calm it down? I tend to be a bit heavy handed with things like pepper etc. ( just being prepared!!) Thanks

Answer 1

Really easy one this which is very satisfying! Chop one onion and one clove of garlic and fry gently for about 20 mins on a low-med heat until really soft and brown. use tinned beans, i usually go for a mix of berlotti, cannellini, chick peas and green lentils. drain these and add to the onions. Next add 2 tins of chopped tomatoes and a cup of water and stir together. If you want some meat then I add some bacon and sausages which i would brown in a separate pan first. once the beans and tomatoes have started to warm up add 2 heaped tablespoons of a barbecue sauce, a level teaspoon of black pepper, pinch of salt and 1 - 2 teaspoons of chopped red chili( I use the jars of ready chopped chillies-much easier and handy to have in fridge!) depending on how hot you like it. Transfer everything into a casserole dish and top with thinly sliced potatoes. cook in the oven for about 35-40 mins at 200.Potatoes should go nice and brown on top and beany mixture should be thick and yummy! This will serve 4-6 people, depending on how hungry they are!

Also, if you ever get too heavy on the chili, you can stir in a spoonful of real cocoa(NOT drinking chocolate) and it will remove some of the heat!!
