Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a frying pan or skillet on medium heat and add the chopped garlic and sage leaves. Fry for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is just starting to turn a light golden brown.
- Add the tomatoes followed by the water and a good pinch of salt and pepper, stir. Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, add the beans and bring back to a simmer. Continue to cook for a further 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly and the beans are warmed through, serve.
Notes
- Want to make them spicy? add in some red pepper flakes or fresh red chilli to taste.
- Add herbs - You can easily add in different fresh or dried herbs to change the flavour.
- Don't overcook - Try not to cook canned beans for more than 5-6 minutes or they soften too much.
- Dried or canned beans - Traditionally these beans are made from scratch using dried beans but for convenience I use canned.
- Storage - Leftovers will keep well in the fridge for 2-3 days or can be frozen.
- Servings - this recipe can easily be doubled for a larger serving.
