Red Kidney Beans | ||
|
Red kidney beans are a key ingredient in Chilli Con Carne. Don’t mess about with dried beans - buy red kidney beans that a ready cooked and canned. Pour the contents of the tin into a pan or bowl and wash in clean water. The beans can then be heated up in a pan of water on the hob, or added to your pot or casserole to warm up in the oven. It’s important to remember that these beans are already cooked and that they only need to be heated up until they are piping hot. If left boiling, the skins will start falling off and the flesh will go mushy. |
