🍞 Bean bunny chow is a complete meal in a hollowed-out quarter loaf of bread.

Ingredients

720 g cooked, drained red beans
400 g potatoes
200 g onion
400 g crushed tomatoes
25 g oil
10 g garlic
10 g ginger
12 g masala
2 g turmeric
3 g salt
200 ml water
1 unsliced loaf of bread, about 700 g, including reserved breadcrumbs

Preparation

Sauté the minced onion in oil for 7 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, and spices with a spoonful of water; stir briefly.

Add tomatoes, potatoes cut into small cubes, salt, and remaining water. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes, until potatoes are almost tender.

Add the rinsed and drained cooked beans. Continue for 10 to 15 minutes and let thicken uncovered if necessary. Check that the potatoes are cooked.

Cut the bread into four blocks. Hollow out each block without piercing the bottom, leaving about 1.5 cm of breadcrumbs against the crust. Reserve the tops and the breadcrumbs.

Fill the four cavities with very hot curry just before serving. Add the reserved breadcrumbs alongside and eat immediately.
