  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red onion, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 red pepper, sliced
  • 1 400g tin chopped tomatoes
  • 1 400g tin cannellini beans, haricot beans or butter beans, rinsed and drained

HOW-TO

1.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet or frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until starting to soften. Add the garlic and red pepper and cook for 5 minutes more.

2.

Once the pepper has started to soften, add the chopped tomatoes, beans, tomato puree and vegetable stock (or water) with a pinch of salt and pepper and stir to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer and lower the heat. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

3.

Add the grains and stir to combine, adding a little more water if needed. Bring back to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes more.

4.

Serve with the chives and avocado or a big chunk of bread.
