Black Eye Bean Stew

I am loving comfort food at the moment and this black-eye bean stew is the way to go. It takes such little time to prepare and cook, definitely one to have after a long day working.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 1 can (400g) black-eye beans, drained and rinsed
• 250ml coconut milk
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 4 fresh tomatoes, roughly chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• 1 small yellow onion, finely sliced
• 100ml vegetable stock
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt
• Pepper

Method:

1. On medium heat, fry the garlic and onion in the olive oil until lightly browned.
2. Add the tomatoes and fry for 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the beans and all the seasonings and mix well.
4. Pour in the stock and coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Leave to simmer for 12- 15 minutes.

Best served hot.
