  • 2 x teaspoons ground cumin spice
  • 2 x teaspoons paprika spice

  • Add the chopped tomatoes, baked beans and spinach. Mix well and let it simmer on the stove over low heat until the spinach is cooked (about 10 minutes). Stir continuously.
  • Add the corn, chilli flakes and tomato puree and stir well. Cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Add the salt and pepper for taste.
  • Serve hot with lettuce cups or starch (cooked rice, mash potato, pap, couscous or samp corn) or with steamed vegetables.
