A simple recipe. You can use your dried red kidney and canelli or use canned. I did a mixture.
2 cans Aldi 5 bean mix 75c
6 cans aldi crushed tom. 59c for Italian. Aussie about 1$
3 cans or equivalent dried cannelii 75c
4 cans red kidney dried or equivalent 75c I used dried for red beans
3 or 4 rasher bacon or equivalent type of flavourful meat. Next time I will try chorizo.
2 onions
garlic.
tsp chilli
tsp of paprika
cook dried beans after soaking or drain canned beansetc.
fry onion garlic and bacon in big pot. Add all the tomatoes and drained beans , spices and cook.
salt to taste
makes about 5 litres
1 litre gives 3 medium meals and of course can be extended with pasta or rice.
i also added some dried peas to absorb some liquid as I was too impatient to render it down.
i pressure canned 4 litres and we ate the rest.
