Equipment
- 1 hand blender
Ingredients
- 1 clove/spoon garlic
- 1 small tin reduced sugar baked beans 220g
- 1 sweet potato
- 1 carrot
- Handful of peas
- Anything else that you can use up veg. wise.
Instructions
- Start by placing the carrot and sweet potato in a pot of boiling water. Allow them to cook for approximately 10 minutes or until they become tender and easily pierced with a fork. Boiling the vegetables helps soften them, making them easier to blend later on.
- Once the carrot and sweet potato are cooked, drain the water from the pot. Add the beans, peas, and garlic to the pot with the softened vegetables. The addition of beans and peas provides protein and extra texture to the sauce, while garlic adds flavor.
- Simmer the vegetable mixture over low heat until all the ingredients are thoroughly cooked and well combined. This simmering process allows the flavors to meld together and ensures the vegetables are fully cooked.
- To achieve the desired consistency, use a hand blender to puree the mixture until smooth. Blend the mixture until it reaches the desired texture, adjusting as needed. The hand blender helps create a smooth and creamy sauce.
