fake boston beans

SOMETHING NOT ENTIRELY DISSIMILAR TO BOSTON BEANS
to serve with cold gammon

first chop up a pepper, or half a red one and half of a green, put it in a saucepan, add a small chopped up onion, cover with water and start to simmer.
add - a tablespoon of black treacle, a teaspoon of mustard powder, half a teaspoon of chilli powder (could be more, or less, depends how spicy you like things)
simmer everything till the veg are soft
here's the 'fake' bit - add a tin of baked beans and warm through.

this serves 3 as a side dish or add a little more water and make soup for 2

THOUGHTS TO TRY

add mushrooms or courgettes
serve with pasta - only enough for 2
use as topping for baked potatoes
