Cumin and Harissa Baked Butterbeans

Next time you find yourself reaching for a tin of baked beans, try this simple homemade version instead. It has all of the comforting familiarity with... a gentle heat that builds over time. The better quality beans you use, the better this dish will taste. We used jarred beans instead of tinned, which tend to have a creamier, more luxurious texture. Serving suggestions: on wholemeal toast, on a baked potato, with a side of greens, with a fried egg on top.

Notes

Freezing Instructions: Freeze in a labelled container for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost overnight in the refrigerator before reheating on the hob. You may need to add a splash of water.
You can use either drained or undrained beans for this recipe. Undrained will yield a saucier result. We like this as it leaves sauce for mopping up with toast, but you can drain if you prefer.
