Baked Beans with Flamingo & Yellow Peas

Method

For the Pulses

1. Soak the peas overnight in cold water
2. The next morning, drain the peas and put in a pot covered with water
3. Season the water with salt (I also added a few garlic cloves and a few bay leaves to my pot).
4. Bring the water to the boil, then turn down to a simmer.
5. Cook until the peas are soft (around 45 minutes)

For the Sauce

1. Warm a little olive or rapeseed oil in a big pot and gently cook the onions & garlic until very soft
2. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, honey, water, sea salt, black pepper and smoked paprika. Leave to simmer for around an hour to allow the flavours to combine and the sauce to thicken up.
3. Next add the cooked flamingo peas & yellow peas and leave covered for another 30-45 minutes until the sauce is the desired thickness and the pulses are very soft.
