Pan-Seared Kidney Beans Toad-in-the-Hole
A pan-seared British toad-in-the-hole featuring kidney beans, parsnips, carrots and mature cheddar with crusty bread. Braising the drained beans until well browned before the vegetables join the pan builds a savoury base flavour rather than tasting like plain tinned beans.
Ingredients
Instructions
Drain and season the kidney beans, then braise them over medium-high heat until well browned, about 7 minutes.
Add the parsnips, onion and carrots, cooking until softened, about 8 minutes.
Stir in the mature cheddar and malt vinegar for a final minute.
Warm the crusty bread separately.
Let the beans simmer for about 16 minutes so the flavors meld.
Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Serve hot over the crusty bread, garnished with fresh herbs.
