Chilli Bean Baguettes Recipes

Steps:

• Rinse the beans under cold water, sorting out any rocks/particles. Cover in cold water and soak for 6 to 8 hours.
• Drain the beans and place in a stockpot with the ham hock; cover with fresh water by 2 inches. Add the tomato sauce, chili powder, brown sugar, white vinegar, garlic, onions, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper.
• Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, adding a little more liquid if the level gets too low, until the beans are tender, 3 to 4 hours. Taste, and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a casserole dish and fry the onion and peppers for 10 mins over a medium heat until the onion is golden brown. Add the garlic and spices, and fry for 1 min. Pour in the tomatoes, both cans of beans, 50ml water, then add the sugar and season. Simmer, stirring regularly, for 15-20 mins until thickened.
• Meanwhile, cook the rice following pack instructions. Serve the chilli on the rice and scatter over the coriander. Top with a spoonful of soured cream, or guacamole, if you like.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, cook the onion and 2 garlic cloves in a little oil.
• After a minute or so, add the minced beef, breaking it up with a spoon.
• When the mince has browned, stir in the chilli powder, cumin, ground coriander, and the plain flour.
• Stir in the beef stock, tomatoes, tomato purée, kidney beans, oregano, and salt.
• Place a bay leaf into the mixture, loosely cover and simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow to cool some so you don't burn yourself during the next bit!
• Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
• Top and tail the baguette, then cut it into 3-4 equal rolls.
• Hollow out each roll, allowing a thin border of bread around the outside.
• Stuff each roll with chili using a teaspoon. Try to really fill them up.
• Make the garlic butter by stirring in 2 cloves of crushed garlic and a handful of parsley into the melted butter.
• Coat each stuffed roll with a generous helping of garlic butter. Top with a healthy portion of finely grated cheddar.
• Bake in the centre of the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Stir the first six ingredients together in a medium pan. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for 4-5 mins.
• Meanwhile, spread the baguette slices over a baking sheet and slide under the grill. Toast on one side, turn over and sprinkle the second side with the cheese. Grill for another 1-2 mins until melted and golden brown. Season the beans to taste and serve over the cheesy toasts.

Steps:

• In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the ground chicken, 1 teaspoon salt, cumin, fennel seeds, oregano, and chili powder. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Stir the flour into the chicken mixture. Add the beans, Swiss chard, corn, and chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 55-60 minutes until the liquid has reduced by about half and the chili has thickened. Add the red pepper flakes and simmer for another 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Ladle the chili into serving bowls. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
