Ingredients
- 1 onion , finely chopped
- 1 celery stick, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 50g bacon , thinly chopped
- 1 garlic clove , crushed
- 400g can chopped tomatoes
- 2 tsp tomato purée
- 1 tsp treacle or brown sugar
- 1 tbsp malt vinegar
- 400g can haricot beans , drained, rinsed
- 300g potatoes , peeled and cubed
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp cream cheese
Instructions
- Soften onion and celery in pan with oil for 10 mins. Add bacon, then fry for 3 mins, until beginning to brown. Add garlic, then cook for 30 secs. Pour in tomatoes and stir through tomato purée, treacle or sugar and vinegar. Simmer over a high heat until thickened, between 5-10 mins, stirring often to make sure mixture doesn’t catch. Gently stir beans through, then cook for a further 2-3 mins on medium heat, until heated through.
- Meanwhile, make mash. Boil potatoes until tender, about 15 mins, then drain. Mash with milk, cheese and seasoning. 3 Fill 2 small microwave-safe bowls three-quarters full with bean mixture. Add a generous dollop of mash to top, smooth over with a spoon. Chill when cool (or freeze for up to a month at this stage). Place small plate on top of dish, then microwave on High for 3 mins or until piping hot.
