Ingredients
Instructions
- Drain the white beans and add them with the tomate frito to the pan

Notes
This is the base for a very basic baked bean substitute and is specifically for people staying in self catering accommodation without access to lots of cooking equipment and extensive ingredients.
However, it's very easy to add to this recipe if you have other ingredients to hand. Add a teaspoon of Pimentón de la Vera to add a warm smoky flavour. A dash of vinegar will balance the sweetness of the tomate frito, but it's best to do this to taste.
