tried this recipe or a similar one? share your tips...
It's not a Jamie Oliver recipe-it's in the 'members recipe' section
Its a bit slack of monsieur oliver to miss out key information here - as above - wheres the liquid, and what about the celery and carrots?
It says add beans with water, and tin of tomatoes gives liquid...but you re right, if you add stock it is juicier and you don't have to stir it all the time...add some white wine to reduce..even more yummy!!!
Confused too...no mention of vegetables and no liquid. Am adding stock constantly!<br />
Confused! How can the ingredients bubble when there is no liquid?! Do you add water/stock and if so how much how much? Also, when do you add the rest of the vegetables?
