Ingredients
- 2lb prepared runner beans
- 5 large onions
- 1½lb Demerara Sugar
- 1½ teaspoon of each - turmeric, cornflour, dry English
mustard
- 1½pt vinegar
Method
Either - cut beans and onions roughly (if to be minced after
cooking)
Or - cut precisely if required for
chunky finish
Boil beans and onions together until tender
Strain well (put through mincer now if required)
Put in pan - add only 1¼pt vinegar and the sugar - cook for
1¼hours
Meantime - add the dry ingredients to the ¼pt vinegar left and
blend
Add to pan and cook for further ¼hour
*Interesting twist - if snowed under with tomatoes,
mince/liquidise 2lb to create a puree and also add during the last
¼hour
As it all thickens, it can 'spit' a bit, so have a lid ready to
control mess in the kitchen!
