Spicy Bean Turnovers With Variations Recipes

SPICY BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cook and stir bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat to render some fat, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir onion into the rendered fat and cook until the bacon is crisp and the onion is tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Stir baked beans, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, prepared mustard, minced jalapeno pepper, chili powder, and mustard powder together in a large bowl; add bacon mixture and stir. Pour the mixture into a 13x9-inch baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the liquid has thickened, 45 to 55 minutes.

SPICY BEANS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Put a frying pan of water on to boil for the eggs, and toast the bread. Heat the oil in a pan, add the onion and gently cook for a few mins until it softens. Sprinkle the spices into the pan and stir briefly to toast them. Tip in the tomatoes and beans, and warm through.
• Turn down the heat under the frying pan so that the water is just simmering, then crack in the eggs and gently poach them until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny. Pile the beans onto the toast (you can butter the slices or leave them plain), place the eggs on top and sprinkle with extra cumin. If you have any fresh herbs around like coriander or parsley, you can sprinkle them on, too.

SWEET & SPICY BEANS

Steps:

• In a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker, combine the first nine ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours. Top with green onions if desired.

SWEET AND SPICY TEMPEH WITH LONG BEANS

Steps:

• Combine shallots, garlic, and ginger in a mortar and pestle and grind into a spice paste.
• Heat enough oil in a deep skillet for deep frying. Deep-fry tempeh until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
• Drain most of oil from the skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoon of oil. Sauté spice paste and lemongrass until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add long beans, soy sauce, garlic-chili oil, and palm sugar. Cook until long beans are tender but still have a bit of crunch, about 2 minutes. Add baby kale and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove lemongrass knot before serving.

MEAT TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400*.
• Cook and stir ground beef and onion until meat is brown and onion is tender. Stir in 2 Tblsp. baking mix, salt, garlic salt, catsup and sour cream; heat through.
• Stir 1 1/2 cups baking mix and the water to a soft dough. Gently smooth dough into a ball on floured cloth-covered board. Knead 5 times.
• Roll dough into a 12-inch square; cut into four 6-inch squares. Place squares on ungreased baking sheet; spoon 1/3 cup meat mixture on each. Fold dough over to make triangles and press edges together to seal securely. Cut slit in center of each turnover.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes.
