Jamie Oliver makes smoked baked beans on Jamie’s Money Saving Meals that cost approximately £1.52 per portion.
Jamie says: “Comforting and delicious, this is great served as a meat-free dinner or, without the killer croutons, it makes a damn fine side dish at any barbecue or with roasted meats. Feel free to use tinned butter beans or even chickpeas in this recipe if they’re your favourites – this is the ultimate in baked beans, so make it your own.”
The ingredients are: 2 red onions, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 fresh red chilli, 2 large carrots, olive oil, 1 heaped teaspoon sweet smoked paprika, 1 level teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 level teaspoon dried chilli flakes, 6 medium sweet potatoes, 1 x 700 ml jar of passata, 2 x 400 g tins of mixed beans, 100 ml BBQ sauce, a few sprigs of fresh rosemary, ½ loaf of ciabatta or stale bread, 40 g Cheddar cheese (optional) and fat-free natural yoghurt to serve.
