hot'n'sweet butter bean mix

Just a quick one for you here my friends, an easy one to make for lunch or dinner. The thyme isn't essential, just gives it a nice herby edge.

You'll need:

1 red onion

4 cloves garlic

olive oil

2 cans butter beans

2 cans chopped tomatoes, or an equal amount of passata

4-5 sprigs of fresh thyme

1/2 dried chili flakes (or more if you like it spicy)

2 tbsp treacle

1 tbsp wholegrain mustard

Chop the onion and fry over a low heat in a decent sized splash of olive oil. Once softened, add the chopped garlic and the leaves off a thyme sprig. Stir around a bit, then add the rest of the ingredients.

Leave to simmer over a low-medium heat until the sauce has reduced a bit. Serve with warmed pitta.

Sorry I'm being slow, lots going on, back to the puddings soon!
