Beans'n'plantain

Ingredients:

  • 40g red onion
  • 30g tomato paste
  • 20g garlic
  • 0.5 teaspoon Chipotle chilli powder (or any spicy and/or smmoky chilli powder)
  • 200g tomatoes
  • coconut oil
  • 2 plantains
  • 400g any pre-cooked beans
  • 1 lime
  • 0.25 teaspoons cinnamon

Methods:

  • Very roughly chop the red onion. Handblender it together with tomato paste, garlic and chilli powder into a paste.
  • Finely chop the tomatoes.
  • In a heavy bottom pot, heat a bit of coconut oil. Add the curry paste and fry for a couple of minutes, until it smells really good. Once it starts sticking to the bottom of the pot, add the tomato. Let it simmer on low heat.
  • Heat some coconut oil in a large pan. Cut plantain into coins and fry them on both sides until golden.
  • Prepare the beans (defrost or drain from the cans) and add them to the curry pot.
  • In a large bowl mix the juice of a lime with cinnamon. Once the plantains are ready, add them in and mix until they absorb all the juice.
  • Serve the beans with plantain.
