What kitchen tools you will need:

Wooden mixing spoon
Chopping knife for preparation
You won't need much to get stuck into this recipe, it's quick, easy and requires little equipment!
Ingredient substitutes:
Soy sauce. I use Tamari rather than soy sauce, it is a Japanese substitute that is wheat-free. If you are wanting gluten-free then ensure you purchase a gluten-free brand. Coconut Aminos will also work if you are following paleo dietary guidelines.
Passata. There have been times where I have not had passata in the house, so I used about 3-4 Tbsp tomato paste with about ¼ - 1/3 cup of water. Add the water gradually depending on how much sauce you want.
Recipe
Makes 3-4 servings
Ingredients:
1 400g tin cannellini beans, drained
1/2 onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp Tomato purée
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 Tbsp coconut sugar
1 Tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
100g passata (can be substituted for purée + water to thin sauce out)
Black pepper
Method
In a frying pan on medium-low heat add some EVOO, onion and garlic. Cover the pan and cook for 5 mins until soft, stirring occasionally. Then add the paprika, sugar, thyme, tomato paste, and soy sauce and mix well. Let it cook for a couple of minutes and then add the beans and passata. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. Serve hot and season with black pepper.
