If you always have a tin of beans in your cupboard, and you tend to be stuck for inspiring things to do with them, this recipe is for you. It's full of flavour but takes next to no effort. Trust us, you'll be making these for weeks!

Method

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the diced red onions with a pinch of salt and fry for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Add in the grated garlic and stir to combine. Fry for another 30 seconds then add the paprika and chipotle paste and stir together, frying until it becomes fragrant and the deepens in colour.

After another minute or so, add in the beans (including all the liquid) and stir everything to combine (pouring in half a tin of water to thin it out slightly if needed). Turn down the heat and let the beans simmer whilst you make the pickled onions.

To make the pickled onions, grab a small bowl and add in the very thinly sliced onions. Squeeze over lime juice then add the salt and massage into the onions until they begin to break down and turn a vibrant pink. Let the onions sit for a few minutes, and stir the beans to avoid them sticking.

Serve the beans on toast with the pickled onions, crumbled feta, coriander and tajin. Squeeze over some extra lime and dive in.
