Method

  1. 1

    Finely dice the onion and crush the garlic. Heat the oil in a large saucepan and soften the onion for 5 minutes over a medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the garlic, cumin and chilli powder and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Drain and rinse all three tins of beans. Add the beans and chopped tomatoes to the pan, stir well and bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Cook uncovered for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the beans are tender.

  5. 5

    Cook the rice according to packet instructions and serve in bowls topped with the three-bean chilli.
