Method
- Soak the cannellini beans overnight in a large pot.
- Discard the soaking water and replace with sufficient fresh water to just cover the beans and ham hock.
- Simmer for one hour.
- Remove the ham hock from the pot. Discard the skin and bones, chop the meat into small pieces and return to the beans.
- In a bowl mix Latasha’s Kitchen Chilli Oil with Orange Chimichurri & Jalapeno Relish, Zingy Tomato Chutney, tahini and tomato paste.
- Add this mixture to the beans along with the tomato pulp, Worcestershire Sauce, Dijon mustard, Latasha’s Kitchen Caramelised Apple Cider Vinegar and brown sugar, stir gently to combine.
- Simmer for an hour or until the beans are tender and the sauce is reduced to a thick coating consistency.
Tip: Simmer gently, stirring often so it doesn’t burn or stick to the base of the pot. - Serve in a bowl topped with fresh chopped coriander and crispy bacon, alongside crusty bread.
NOTE: Dried beans are a good sauce of iron and protein.
