These baked beans really live up to their name, both with their time in the oven where all the flavours mix and mingle into a moreish taste sensation, and with the gooey cheese, which you can mop up with the perfectly chewy ciabatta garlic bread. Unfortunately, this week’s cannellini beans were in short supply, so we’ve replaced them with red kidney beans. Don’t worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Finely chop garlic. Roughly chop parsley. Finely chop carrot. • Drain and rinse red kidney beans. Drain sweetcorn.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook carrot and sweetcorn, stirring, until softened, 6-7 minutes. • Add half the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add red kidney beans, All-American spice blend and tomato paste to the pan. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add passata, the salt, BBQ sauce and the water. Cook, stirring, until well combined, 2-3 minutes. Season with pepper.
• Transfer bean mixture to a baking dish. • Sprinkle evenly with shredded Cheddar cheese. • Bake until thickened and cheese is melted, 10-12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice bake-at-home ciabatta in half, lengthways, then slice each half diagonally across. • Place the butter and remaining garlic in a small heatproof bowl. Microwave in 10 second bursts until melted. Stir through half the parsley. Season with salt and pepper. • Brush garlic-parsley butter over the cut-side of ciabatta slices. • Place ciabatta slices directly on a wire rack in the oven. Bake until golden, 5 minutes.
• Divide BBQ baked kidney beans between bowls. • Garnish with remaining parsley. Sprinkle with pickled jalapeños (if using). • Serve with herby garlic bread. Enjoy!
