Method

  • step 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Finely chop the celery sticks, onion and red pepper and gently fry until soft, about 10 mins. Set the softened veg aside and fry the bacon in the same pan until golden and crisp. Tip in the garlic clove and chilli powder and cook for 1 min.

  • step 2

    Pour in passata, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce and the softened veg and stir well.

  • step 3

    Rinse and drain the borlotti beans and cannellini beans. Tip into the pan, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 mins. Season to taste and serve with jacket potatoes.

Delicious and easy - even though I used ordinary golden syrup rather than maple syrup. Also, I fried chopped bacon rashers separately so that the vegetarians amongst us could also enjoy the beans while the crispy bacon was sprinkled on top.

Used 1 tablespoon of honey instead of the maple syrup but other than that stuck exactly to the recipe and it turned out absolutely delicious. I would recommend eating with a baked sweet potato.

question

I need to triple this amount for a large bbq - can I make it the day before and warm it through on the evening?Maybe use the slow cooker? (My fridge will be over full probably!) Also as I have to make it without bacon for a vegetarians would it be a good idea to add liquid smoke to the recipe to…

Absolutely brilliant! Made a few changes, an orange pepper instead of red and a red onion, also used Haricot beans instead of Cannellini beans, but they were so lovely! Served with a jacket spud and sausages. Will definitely be making again.

Delicious, even my fussy teenager loved them. Having them again tomorrow, can't wait.
