Smoky Black Bean Stir-Fry with tomato and olive oil
Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the tomato and olive oil elements, and pat the black bean dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the black beans and smoke until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.

Stir in the manchego and the rest of the tomato and olive oil flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the kale along with a splash of stock or water, then cover and cook gently until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
