Chilli Beans On Toast Recipes

Steps:

• Put a frying pan of water on to boil for the eggs, and toast the bread. Heat the oil in a pan, add the onion and gently cook for a few mins until it softens. Sprinkle the spices into the pan and stir briefly to toast them. Tip in the tomatoes and beans, and warm through.
• Turn down the heat under the frying pan so that the water is just simmering, then crack in the eggs and gently poach them until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny. Pile the beans onto the toast (you can butter the slices or leave them plain), place the eggs on top and sprinkle with extra cumin. If you have any fresh herbs around like coriander or parsley, you can sprinkle them on, too.

Steps:

• Tip the tomatoes, spring onion whites, spices and brown sauce into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and bubble for 10 mins.
• Stir in the beans with some seasoning and heat through for 5 mins. Meanwhile, toast the bread, then chunkily dice half the avocado and mix with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice.
• Squash the remaining avocado over one of the pieces of toast, and sandwich with the other. Sit on a plate and top with the hot chilli beans, followed by the diced avocado and a dollop of cooling yogurt. Scatter with the spring onion greens and tuck in.

Steps:

• Put the first 6 ingredients in a pan, bring to the boil and turn down the heat to simmer for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile spread baguettes over a baking sheet,
• toast one side under a hot grill.
• Turn over and top with some of the cheese,
• grill until golden and bubbly.
• Put beans on toast - scoff.

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 heavy-based frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onion for 8-10 mins until softened and slightly caramelised. Add the garlic and spices, the chipotle chilli paste or chilli flakes, if using, and some seasoning. Fry for a few minutes more until the mixture is fragrant.
• Add the tomatoes, then swirl out the pan using 100ml water and add this too. Simmer for 10-15 mins until the mixture has thickened. Blitz the sauce using a hand blender, then taste for seasoning. Tip in the beans and mix well to coat. Warm through over a medium heat for 5 mins until the beans are piping hot.
• Heat the grill to high and toast the bread slices for 3-5 mins. Top with the beans and grated cheese, and pop under the grill until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Sprinkle with a little paprika and serve immediately.
