Dish up pots of smoky beans with a crunchy golden sourdough crust.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup fresh oregano leaves
- 60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
- 1 large brown onion, halved, thinly sliced
- 1 tbs sweet paprika
- 2 x 400g cans diced tomatoes
- 60ml (1/4 cup) water
- 2 tbs brown sugar
- 1 tbs tomato paste
- 250g sourdough bread, crusts removed
- 400g can red kidney beans, rinsed, drained
- 400g can borlotti beans, rinsed, drained
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220C. Chop 2 tbs of oregano. Heat 1 tbs of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onion. Stir for 8 minutes or until soft and golden. Add paprika. Stir for 1 minute or until aromatic. Add tomato, water, sugar, tomato paste and chopped oregano. Stir for 5 minutes or until reduced slightly.
- Meanwhile, tear bread into 2-3cm pieces. Combine bread and remaining oil in a bowl.
