Baked Beans

Baked beans… The kind you pile high on buttered toast and eat straight from the bowl.
Ingredients
Smooth olive oil
3x garlic cloves, finely chopped
2x shallots, finely sliced
2x can butter beans, drained & rinsed
1x can lentils, drained & rinsed
4x tomatoes, skin removed & diced (refer to method)
1x small tub kalamata olives
1x can diced tomatoes or 1 cup passata
1/2 cup fresh basil
Method
1. Bring a pot of water to the boil. Cut an X shape at the base of your tomatoes and once the water is boiling drop your tomatoes into the boiling water. Let them sit in the water for 1minute and then scoop out. The skin where you cut the X should peel back easily, removing the skin.
2. Sautè garlic and shallots in olive oil in a large pan until the soften and turn golden.
3. Add the diced tomatoes, beans and olives. Add passata or canned tomatoes and 1/2 cup veggie stock (add more if needed) and stir to combine. Simmer for 5-10 minutes.
4. Season well with salt and pepper, add a dusting of paprika.
5. To serve, dollop a couple tablespoons yoghurt, top with beans and finish off with a good drizzle of chilli or jalapeno oil, grated parmesan, fresh basil and toasted sourdough.
