Description

Nourishing chipotle borlotti beans with sweet chilli salmon. Perfect for lunch or dinner, the choice is entirely yours!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 400g tin borlotti beans, thoroughly rinsed and drained
  • 150g pasta sauce with chilli (no added sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chilli paste
  • 1 medium piece fresh salmon
  • 1 teaspoon sweet chilli sauce
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
  • Large handful of baby leaf salad, to serve

Instructions

Coat the salmon with the sweet chilli sauce, a pinch of salt and half of the chilli flakes. Leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes then place on lined baking tray and bake in oven for 20 minutes at 200C.

In the mean time, heat a small splash of water in a medium saucepan of medium heat. Once warm, add the pasta sauce and chipotle chilli paste. Cook for 3 minutes on medium heat then tip in the beans. Stir well then cook on a simmer for 10 minutes. You shouldn’t need to add any seasoning, but taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Take the pan off the heat then serve the borlotti beans alongside the salmon and baby leaf salad. You can dress the salad with olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper and a pinch of salt if you wish. As always, enjoy!


Notes

Enjoy the beans on toast or with a side of grains or potatoes. You can replace salmon with another protein of y0ur choice or leave it completely.
