Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 medium onion (rough or finely chopped)
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1/2 inch square gingerroot (finely chopped)
- 1 (10 ounce) can red kidney beans (drained. You can use cooked dried beans but that takes a longer time)
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 1/2 cup water (or less)
- salt (optional)
Method
- Saute onions garlic and ginger on high heat until fragrant ( about 2 minutes).
- Add the drained kidney beans, ketchup and 1/2 cup of water and stir.
- I don't bother adding salt to this, as the brine that the beans were soaked in is sufficient. However if you wish you can salt to taste.
- Cover and simmer until the sauce has thickened. (About 5-10mins). It depends on how much water you put inches.
- NB. When cooking in the US and Canada I found that North American ketchups tend to be more tart and acidic than Caribbean ones.
- For an authentic caribbean flavour, add sugar to the sauce 1 tsp at a time until you get the desired sweetness.
