BACK TO SCHOOL GUT RESET RECIPE:
Black beans for dinner
An easy recipe we make often, you could replace the black beans with other beans. You could also add some leftover veg near the end of cooking times. The kids like brown rice as long as I add a k**b of butter in at the end :)
Small onion, finely chopped
Large carrot, grated
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cumin
Red or orange pepper, diced
Tin black beans, drained
Approx. 250ml tomato passata or tin of chopped tomatoes
Brown rice and soured cream/crème fraiche to serve
Put the brown rice on to cook first in salted water.
Soften the onion and carrot in the oil for about 5min, stirring regularly.
Add the pepper and soften for a further few minutes. Add the spices, stir, then add a splash of water.
Add the beans, drained, but not very well.
Add the passata and stir to combine. Cover and leave to simmer of a low heat for about 15min altogether.
Serve over buttered brown rice with a dollop of cream on the top, some fresh herbs if you like and chilli sauce if you like it spicy.
