yum. Really flavorful and so easy! I had to cook my beans for more than an hour... maybe 1 and a half to get them tender, no other changes at all. Can definitely recommend for an easy dinner. -
What a great recipe! I used tinned cannellini beans for ease and this was made and taken on a picnic today! A wonderful fusion of flavours and textures - we all loved it! Thanks Nic for posting this - made for ZWT3. FT:-)

I live in Manchester, UK with my fiance and young son. I work at the local hospital in pediatrics and love my job. I also love cooking!! I have a sweet tooth but try and make healthy family meals, I'm not against some lovely treats now and then though :)
