Easy Breakfast Beans

I made this recipe for breakfast this morning and was a huge success with Malachite. I made it super simple but would definitely add capsicum, mushroom, and spinach next time. I will also make it in bulk and freeze half in preparation for those busy or unmotivated weeks ahead.

There are so many variations you can make with this recipe:

• Add more vegetables - sauteed mushrooms/capsicum/celery, grated carrot, frozen corn, spinach leaves

• Increase the protein - nitrate-free bacon, boiled eggs, leftover sausages, smoked organic tofu, hemp seeds

• Serve with - on its own, gluten-free toast, cooked quinoa/rice/millet, salad leaves or even some roasted vegetables!!

• Seasonings - whatever family favorites you may have at home but keep it light for those morning taste buds

Ingredients (4 serves)

400g can Cannelini Beans - drained and rinsed

400g can Chopped tomatoes

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 brown onion

3-4 cloves garlic

Extra virgin olive oil - good drizzle

1/2 zucchini grated

Cleavers organic hot dog sausage (1-2)

Seasonings - 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/4 tsp sea salt (This is really up to you!)

Method

4. In the meantime boiled a couple of eggs to go with this breakfast dish for a wholesome start to the day

Malachite had his beans over boiled eggs on gluten-free toast

I simply had mine in a bowl with some fresh rocket leaves and a boiled egg
