About

My beloved A.N. Wilson dreamt up this dish for the hurried cook who has to go out and about and likes to return to a fait accompli at the end of the day He is a very good cook and deeply interested in food, but has little time to indulge. This receipt uses tins of haricot beans but you can of course cook your own if you prefer.
