⁃ A flavourful seasoning of choice (I added two maggi cubes)

⁃ 1 knorr beef stock cube

⁃ 1 cup blended tomato / tomato passata

Method:

1. Wash and soak beans (I soaked mine overnight)

2. Add beans to a pot and add boiling water to cover the beans

3. Leave to boil on a medium heat (covered) until beans are soft, if you have a pressure cooker you can use that for less cooking time.

9. Keep stirring for about 8-10 minutes , make sure the tomato is cooked properly

10. Add 1 and a half cups of boiled water and the beef stock cube and then stir in

11. Add the sugar beans and stir

12. Add a little bit more water and stir (at this point if you want you can add more salt or more of your flavourful seasoning of choice (I added a teaspoon of six gun grill seasoning)

13. Then add 1 teaspoon of brown sugar and stir in (this is to balance the acidity of the tomatoes)

14. Close the lid and leave to simmer for about 15 minutes on a low heat
