Dinner rescue help please!

Chakani

OH kindly made "bean stew" last night, basically it's a mixture of adzuki and cannelini beans, with onions, mushrooms, tomatoes and the remainder of a bacon joint diced, plus whatever else happens to be around. I sometimes add a teaspoon of black treacle to it. OH knew this, so added a spoonful.... a tablespoon! :eek: It was edible, but hard going.

I want to use the leftovers to make a soup for tonight, so what can I do to tone down the treacle flavour?

Vinegar would counteract the sweetness but might be a little too tart ..... maybe some basalmic vinegar if you have it? Or maybe some pepper ..... or both!

I'll take a bit out and see what balsamic does to it, good thought! There's loads of pepper in there already, think I might chuck a load of peppers and celery in to bulk it up and dilute the flavour.

I'll let you know how it goes....

I would bulk it up with some more veg another tin of tomatoes and then if its too much, freeze some.

Good Idea Pawpurrs - Tinned Toms are acidic & actually need sugar or similar to bring out their flavour!!
