Bean Salad

It makes sense for my first recipe post to be what I made this evening.

Can Butter Beans
Can Kidney Beans
1/2 Onion (sliced)
Few Mushrooms
Heaped tsp of tomato paste
Olive Oil
Peri Peri Powder (or chilli powder)
Garlic Salt

I fried the onions and mushrooms in olive oil, adding the peri peri powder and garlic salt whilst cooking. When semi-fried I added a heaped teaspoon of tomato paste & after about 30secs removed from the heat. Meanwhile I had drained the beans and transferred them to a bowl. I added some more olive oil into the saucepan with the onions as the beans need to be coated in oil (not too much) then poured the onion mixture over the beans. Mix together and then ready.

Tonight we had chicken wrapped in a piece of streaky bacon on top of our beans that were sitting on some sliced tomatoes. Perfect to serve with a nice green salad whilst starting to watch the 5th series of 24.
