Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp oil, we use avocado or olive
  • 1 brown onion, diced
  • 200 g bacon rashers, diced
  • 6 stalks thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 700 g passata (1 jar)
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 cans beans (400g each)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180C/350F.
  • Heat a large oven-proof pan over medium heat and add the oil.
  • Add the onion, bacon, thyme stalks, salt & pepper. Cook for 10 minutes to render the fat from the bacon and soften the onions. Stir occasionally.
  • Remove the thyme stalks, leaving any leaves behind. Discard the stalks.
  • Add the tomato paste and garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes to release the flavour, stirring.
  • Add the passata, paprika, Worcestershire sauce and beans and stir to combine.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. If you pan is not oven-proof, transfer to an oven-safe dish first.
  • Remove from the oven and it is ready to serve. We live to serve it with a fried egg or some cottage cheese to boost the protein even more.
