This is a super quick, inexpensive and easy recipe for you to whip up for a weeknight dinner, or as an extra side-dish. It works well on its own with a nice big salad, but you can definitely enhance it with a fried egg, steak or a roast chicken.

I used bacon, because that’s what I’ve had on hand, but you can definitely substitute with a sausage or skip meat altogether and go vegan.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 2 servings / 0.95 EUR per serving / 1.90 EUR for all)

1 large onion, finely diced (0.10 EUR)

½ cup finely diced bacon (0.67 EUR)

1 tsp sunflower seed oil (0.01 EUR)

3 garlic cloves, minced (0.09 EUR)

1 can beans, drained (0.67 EUR)

2/3 cup tomato paste (0.27 EUR)

1 tsp sweet Hungarian paprika (0.03 EUR)

Pinch of freshly ground black pepper (0.03 EUR)

Pinch of chili flakes (0.03 EUR)

METHOD:

Saute onion and bacon on a teaspoon of oil on high heat for about five minutes, until bacon is crispy and golden. Add in garlic and beans, stir and cook briefly. Then add in tomato paste, paprika, black pepper and chili flakes and cook for about 10 minutes, so the sauce can thicken a bit.

Preheat oven to 200°C. Carefully transfer the beans to an oven-safe dish and bake for about 30 minutes, until the crust forms on top.

Ovo je super brzo, jeftino i lagano jelo koje možete napraviti kao večeru preko tjedna, ili kao malo nabrijaniji vikend prilog. Funkcionira dobro samo za sebe sa velikom salatom, ali definitivno ga možete pojačati sa pečenim jajetom, šniclom ili pečenom piletinom.

Ja sam stavila špek jer sam to imala pri ruci, ali možete ga svakako zamijeniti sa kobasicom, ili skroz izbaciti meso za vegansku verziju.

SASTOJCI:

(Za dvije porcije / 7,07 kn po porciji / 14,15 kn za sve)

1 veliki luk, sitno nasjeckan (0,75 kn)

½ šalice špeka narezanog na kockice (5,00 kn)

1 žličica suncokretovog ulja (0,05 kn)

3 češnja češnjaka, sitno nasjeckanog (0,70 kn)

1 konzerva graha, ocijeđenog (5,00 kn)

2/3 šalice pasirane rajčice (2,00 kn)

1 žličica slatke paprike (0,25 kn)

Prstohvat svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,20 kn)

Prstohvat sušenog čilija u pahuljicama (0,20 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Prodinstajte pet minuta luk i špek na žličici ulja na jakoj vatri, dok špek ne postane hruskav i zlatno-žuti. Dodajte češnjak i grah, promiješajte i kratko prokuhajte. Ubacite pasiranu rajčicu, papriku, papar i čili i kuhajte oko 10 minuta, da se umak zgusne.

Zagrijte pećnicu na 200°C. Pažljivo prebacite grah u vatrostalnu posudu i pecite oko 30 minuta, dok se ne uhvati korica.
