Recipe Introduction


This dish sounded so unique we just had to try it. I expected to dislike the sweetness of the jam with the beans but it was actually quite nice. I didn't have kidney beans though, and used Great Northerns. BL



List of Ingredients




1/2 kg. canned or 4 cups cooked kidney beans
1 clove garlic
1/2 tsp. crushed, dried chili peppers
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. minced coriander leaves
salt to taste
1/2 cup damson plum jam
about 2 Tbsp. wine vinegar


Recipe



If using canned beans, strain the beans and rinse lightly under cold running water.

Drain the beans thoroughly and turn into a serving bowl.

With a mortar and pestle or blender, crush the garlic together with the chili peppers, basil, coriander and a pinch or two of salt. Work to a smooth paste.

Rub the jam through a fine sieve and mix together with the herb paste, thinning with vinegar, a few drops at a time.

Season the sauce to taste with salt and gently fold it into the beans with a wooden spoon.

Let stand at room temperature for 2 - 3 hours before serving.

Serves 6.
