How to Make Break The Fast Beans

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 4 slices of bacon, cooked until crispy. Remove bacon, crumble, and set aside.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (capsicum) to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, until softened.
  3. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil and the crumbled bacon. Season generously with freshly cracked black pepper.
  5. Serve immediately over 1 slice of toasted wholegrain bread or stuffed into a baked potato for a lighter meal.
