Recipe Notes
TOP TIPS
Serve with a simple roast chicken and greens or with some really good meaty sausages.
You can also make a well in the beans, crack four eggs in, cover and cook for 5-6 minutes until the eggs are cooked or to your liking. You can also sprinkle with feta and a bit of roughly chopped coriander and serve with crusty bread.
Liquid smoke is a food flavouring and is generally made by condensing the smoke from wood. It is great to bring a smokey flavour to cooking and is often used on BBQ meats, pulled pork, dips and sauces where you want a woody, smokey flavour. Brands can have a number of additives so look for a brand that is a natural liquid smoke with no additives or preservatives. You can get it online or at big supermarkets.
