Beans with a kick!

Ingredients

3 curd dried chillies (white) if available from Asian food stores or any dried chillies

4 garlic cloves, diced

2 Thai green chili’s fresh

1 large onion diced

200grams dried black beans or tinned

1 cup water

1-2 bay leaves

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp rosemary

1 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp seasoned salt

1 tbs JIM’S FAMOUS SALSA

Method

1. If using fresh beans then soak in a glass container for 24-36 hours, this increases the vitamin content as well, make sure you change the water with fresh water daily.

2. In a non stick pan with a tight lid fry the dried chili, garlic, onions on medium heat

3. Add drained soaked beans

4. Add 1/2 cup of the water and cover tightly.

5. Cook on low heat for about 4-6 hours until soft (if using tinned then only 2-3 hours) being careful to not let it dry out adding more water as needed. A slow cooker can also be used

6. Just before they are done add the Salsa and cook for another 1/2 hour

7. Cook until the beans are soft and the water is gone but should still have a small amount of gravy.

8. Serve over double baked potatoes and extra Jim’s famous Salsa and Jim’s famous Guacamole

Great meal for a winter’s day
