Tomato Chilli Beans with Baked Potato
This recipe makes a great week-day lunch. It's hearty and delicious, but also fairly quick and easy to make. The crispy roasted potato pairs really well with the rich and creamy beans, and the peas add a lovely fresh touch. It's our go-to white bean recipe, we're sure you'll love it!

Tomato Chilli Beans
- Fry the onions in a pan with some of the olive oil. After a few minutes, add the garlic and chili powder.
- Once the onions and garlic start to go golden, add the beans and fry together for a moment.
- Add the chopped basil and stir well, then add in the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
