Tips

  • This is a great way to use up leftover beans, if you have half a jar you don't know what to do with!
  • Optional: swirl a teaspoon of chilli oil through the sauce, like a raspberry ripple effect!
  • Taste and adjust seasoning, adding a squeeze of lemon for a bit of freshness, if you like.
