Notes
Tips for the perfect result:
Drain the beans thoroughly so the sauce can thicken without becoming watery. Use an ovenproof dish that fits your airfryer's size, and feel free to let the sauce cook for an extra 3-5 minutes if you want it even thicker. Variation:
Use different white beans such as butterbeans or flageolet beans. For a smoky version, you can add a few slices of bacon before cooking, or swap the smoked paprika for chipotle for more heat. Serving:
Classic English breakfast with toasted sourdough, crispy bacon, scrambled eggs or a poached egg. Also tastes fantastic as a side to sausages or as a vegetarian main course. Note on gluten:
Always check the Worcestershire sauce label – some contain gluten. Choose a gluten-free variant if the dish needs to be gluten-free.
