Mung and Rosecoco Bean Chilli

We’ve become a bit of a fan of various dried beans. They are cheap and add bulk and texture to dishes. Mung Beans make a pretty convincing Mince substitute as well.

Ingredients:-
 
200g of Mung Beans
100g Rosecoc Beans
1 Onion sliced
2 Cloves of Garlic grated
1 tin of chopped Tomatoes
½ a tube of Tomato Purée
2 teaspoons of Chilli powder
2 whole Chillies chopped ( Deseed if you prefer it mild )
Salt and Pepper
 
Method:-
 
(1) Soak both types of Bean ovennight, drain and then simmer separately for 20 minutes. Drain again and set aside.
(2) Fry the Onions, Garlic and Chilli powder and add Salt & Pepper to taste.
(3) Add the Mung Beans and tin of Tomoates then allow to simmer.
(4) Add the Tomato Purée.
(5) Add the Chillies.
(6) Add the Rosecoco Bean and simmer on a low heat.
 
Serve with Nachos or in Jacket Potatoes. Sprinkle with grated Cheese if you wish and garnish with Coriander.

Hazelnut Pesto

It’s very early for Hazel Nuts this year. But what falls gets eaten here!

Ingredients:-

Hazel Nuts
Olive or Rice Husk Oil
Fresh Basil
White Wine Vinegar
Salt

Method:-

(1) Put the nuts in the oven at 200C and roast for 10 minutes. This stops the Pesto going moldy.
(2) Allow to cool and then batter with a rolling pin the get the nuts out of the shells. Do not hit your thumb, it hurts!
(3) In a blender add all the ingredients and wuzz until it’s reasonably fine grained.

I like Pesto with a bit of bite so I didn’t wuzz it up as much as some folk might like.
