}}

I saw Jamie Oliver cooking [[Cannellini beans|cannellini beans]] as 'Humble home-cooked [[Beans|beans]] in his Jamie at Home TV series. I thought I would try a pink version using [[Kidney beans|kidney beans]] - very nice they are too.

The [[Potato|potato]] adds some substance to the [[Sauce|sauce]], the [[Tomato|tomato]] helps to break down the [[Beans|beans]] and the [[Garlic|garlic]] and [[Herbs|herbs]] add bags of flavour.

This would be great as garlicky [[Beans|beans]] on toast or as an addition to any meal.

====Best recipe review====

''Not just pink...''

4.7/5 

I've tried this recipe with all sorts of beans and pulses and it works well with them all. You may need to adjust cooking and soaking times though.

{{RecipeIngredients

| 500g pack of [[Dried|dried]] [[Kidney beans|kidney beans]] - you'll find the KTC [[Beans|beans]] in the Asian section of your supermarket, very reasonably priced too!
| 8 [[Cloves of garlic|cloves of garlic]], unpeeled
| A few small [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]]
| A [[Sprig of rosemary|sprig of rosemary]]
| A sprig of [[Thyme|thyme]]
| A handful of [[Bay leaves|bay leaves]]
| 1 small [[Potato|potato]], peeled and quartered
| 1 small stick of [[Celery|celery]], I've used [[Frozen|frozen]] celery
| A large bunch of fresh [[Parsley|parsley]], finely chopped
| 5 tablespoons [[Olive oil|olive oil]]
| 2 tablespoons [[Red wine vinegar|red wine vinegar]]
| [[Salt]] and [[Pepper|pepper]]
}}
===[[Mise en place]]===

* Soak the [[Kidney beans|kidney beans]] in lots of fresh water for 24 hours (or more). Change the water and rinse them well at least 3 or 4 times during the soaking.
* Do not add any [[Salt|salt]] during this process as this will inhibit the re-hydration process.

| Do the same with the [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]], again, discarding the skins.
| Add a small ladle-full of the cooking [[Liquor|liquor]], a good pinch of [[Salt|salt]] and [[Pepper|pepper]] and using a [[Potato masher|potato masher]], mix into a runny [[Sauce|sauce]].
