Recently enjoyed my first meal at a local South African restaurant here in Brooklyn. There we enjoyed this fabulous side dish - a spicy revamped rendition of baked beans. Of course, this sent me in search of a recipe to prepare at home. Found this one on the Internet and plan to try it soon. The original called for three times the amount of oil but I plan to make it as presented.
Ingredients:
50 ml canola oil
30 g chopped fresh ginger
30 g chopped fresh garlic
20 g chopped chili peppers
200 g chopped onions
500 g tomatoes, roughly chopped
100 g green peppers, roughly chopped
100 g red peppers, roughly chopped
50 g leaves masala
200 g grated carrots
450 g vegetarian baked beans, in tomato sauce
10 g fresh coriander
Directions:
1. Fry ginger, garlic, chillis, onions in the oil.
2. Add the leaf masala or curry powder of your choice.
3. Add the tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes.
4. Add peppers and carrots and cook for 10 minutes. Add baked beans and cook for 5 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and add coriander. Check seasoning. Serve with whatever you want, hot or cold.
