Fancy Baked Beans

Method:

1. 1

   Drizzle the oil into a large frying pan over medium heat, add the onion and fry for 8–10 minutes until softened. Tip in the garlic and tomato purée and fry for 30 seconds until it smells fragrant.

2. 2

   Add the butter beans, chopped tomatoes and 50ml / 1.7 fl oz water into the pan, bring to the boil; then turn down the heat and simmer until slightly reduced. To finish, stir in the vinegar and maple syrup, along with a pinch of salt and crack of black pepper. At this point, you can also add some harissa or chipotle paste, to taste. Serve on toasted sourdough.
