Chilli Red Beans

For variety, you can use  bean mix for this recipe. One good substitute is the canned Five Bean Mix we have here in Australia. It’s composed of Red Kidney, Chickpea, Soy bean, Baby Lima bean and what we call here the Great Northern Bean which is also called Green Broad bean.

2 x 400 g canned red kidney beans, drained
4 -5 medium size ripe red tomatoes, chopped
Quarter each of  small red and green  bell peppers (capsicum), cut into thick strips
200 ml water
1/2  tbsp salt
1/4  tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground  cumin
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
1/4 tsp chilli flakes
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp oil

In a pot over medium heat, heat the oil and stir fry capsicum for about 30 seconds. Set aside.
In the same pot add all spices and chilli. Stir fry over medium heat for about 1 min.
Add the tomatoes, salt  and water. Cover the pan and simmer for 6 minutes. Stir from time to time.
