Ingredients
Amount
Ingredient
1 cup McKenzie's Red Kidney Beans
1 clove garlic
6 cumin seeds
2 spring onions, finely chopped
2 medium beetroot, peeled and finely grated
1 tablespoon low fat natural yoghurt
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
To taste McKenzie's Australian Natural Sea Salt
To taste McKenzie's Whole Black Peppercorns
1 tablespoons sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Rinse McKenzie's Red Kidney Beans and soak for approximately 12 hours or overnight in cold water. Discard water.
Step 2
Put soaked beans in saucepan with 4 cups cold water, whole garlic clove and cumin seeds. Boil until tender, approximately 1 hour. Do not overcook beans. Allow beans to cool, drain and remove garlic.
Step 3
Chop spring onions finely. Peel beetroot and grate finely.
Step 4
In a bowl combine beans, beetroot, onion, yoghurt and vinegar. Season to taste with McKenzie's Australian Natural Sea Salt and McKenzie's Whole Black Peppercorns.
Step 5
Sprinkle with seasame seeds and serve.
Step 6
Whilst pre-soaking the beans shortens the cooking time, if you are short on time, just rinse the beans and start at Step 2. of the method, allowing for approximately 1 1/2 hours to cook. To add colour to the dish, add a finely diced green or yellow capsicum and/or a finely grated carrot.
