I was in #bean heaven last week at the @rancho_gordo shop in Napa Valley🇺🇸 🫘! I had a lovely chat with Streve Sando, visionary behind the brand and heard how he’s helping to bring heirloom beans back to the forefront of American kitchens. What is so awesome about their work is their commitment to working with smallholder farmers to grow and preserve these incredible varieties. The solutions are already out there👀 and they’re just sitting on a shelf in Napa! If you’re in the area, it’s absolutely worth a visit! #BeansisHow #GoodFood4All #SDG2 #Beansonthemenu

Happy bank holiday weekend ✨ There’s something about a slower morning, a pan bubbling away on the stove, and nowhere to rush off to. These smoky one-pan beans are exactly that kind of recipe simple and full of depth from just a handful of ingredients. Sweet onions, garlic, peppers, bay, and a gentle kick of cayenne all come together into something really comforting, the kind of dish that feels like it’s been cooking for hours (but hasn’t). I love serving this piled onto great toast, topped with soft eggs, a crumble of feta, and a drizzle of olive oil simple, satisfying, and perfect for the long weekend. A good one for tomorrow morning 😘 Save this one 🤍 Smoky One-Pan Beans (serves 3–4) Ingredients 2 tbsp olive oil 1 large onion, finely sliced 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 red pepper, sliced 1 tsp smoked paprika 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 2 bay leaves 1 tbsp tomato paste 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari 1 tsp maple syrup (optional) 2 x 400g tins beans (butter beans or cannellini), drained 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes 200–300ml vegetable stock Salt and black pepper Juice of 1/2 lemon or a splash of apple cider vinegar Method/ Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 8–10 minutes until soft and slightly caramelised. Stir in the garlic and red pepper and cook for a few minutes until fragrant. Add the smoked paprika, cayenne and bay leaves, letting everything toast gently, then stir in the tomato paste and cook it out for a couple of minutes. Pour in the chopped tomatoes, beans and vegetable stock. Add the soy sauce and maple syrup if using, then bring to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 20–25 minutes until thickened and rich, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water if needed. Finish with lemon juice or vinegar, taste and adjust seasoning. Serve on great toast with eggs, feta, chilli flakes and a drizzle of olive oil. #banginsomebeans @beansishow @vegpower
