Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
- 400 grams canned white beans (like cannellini or navy beans)
- 200 ml vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon or to taste salt
- 0.5 teaspoon or to taste black pepper
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
- 4 optional (to serve) bread slices
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3–5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and chili flakes. Cook for 1–2 minutes to toast the spices and deepen the flavors.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the mixture to reduce slightly.
Drain and rinse the canned white beans, then add them to the saucepan along with the vegetable stock.
Season with salt, black pepper, and maple syrup. Stir to combine, and reduce the heat to low.
Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through and the sauce has thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, alongside toasted bread or a poached egg if desired.
