These beans are AMAZING! Definitely a new family favourite.
We ate something very similar years ago at a friends dinner party. I think they called them ‘Mango Beans’ a tomato sauce with beans and mango chutney added to it. Genius idea!
IĀ figured I could clean it up by replacing the mango chutney with clean apricot jam and it worked a treat. I went back for seconds (and possibly third helpings) and next time I might just grab the saucepan and a spoon and run! š
This meal would be great to feed a crowd of hungry people for very little money. We servedĀ our beans with jacket potatoes and salad and then had the leftovers with baked sweet potatoes and garlic courgettes. Yummo!
Helpful Tip: If you don’t enjoy your food being too sweet then you can try adding the jam a spoonful at a time until the beans are sweet enough for you.
