Beans on Toast

Baked Beans on Toast is my husband’s favourite breakfast. Luckily its one of the dishes that I need not put in a lot of effort as I used to buy the canned baked beans. In the last few years , as I have moved away from packaged food as much as possible I started making Baked Beans with easily available Rajma / Kidney Beans, at home.

Though the name indicates that the beans are baked, they are usually slow cooked in slightly sweet tomato sauce. Over the weekend when I have more time on my hands I like to prepare a more elaborate breakfast instead of the usual oats or boiled eggs over the weekdays.

So, today I had planned to spend a little more time than usual, for preparing breakfast, while my husband and child were away for kid’s swimming lessons. Why ? Well nothing special, just that I knew my husband would love it, and that is a big reward in itself. I think everyone likes to be pampered once in a while!
