Yesterday's pastry blind bake sacrificed what amounted to a small hill of beans - so (despite their 20mins of 150c toasting) soaked the 4cups or so of them overnight to see if they could be rescued.
Then, this afternoon simmered the soaked 'deluxe beans' (available at Holland & Barrett) for an hour with 1L of water, 3tbsp marigold veg seasoning, 1cup leftover red wine, 2tsp pepper, 400g tin chopped tomatoes with garlic - it made for a soup on which you could plough at least 6 acres on a biting winter's day, if so inclined. Any left after the flatmate raid was poured & stored (for freezing) into the Poly-Lina pouches I'm a bit obsessed with at the mo.
