This recipe hit the spot.</p>
<p>The visual and added flavour of the scallion, green herbs, and capsicum make this dish much less ‘boring’ than it sounds.</p>
<p>*A note for the Australian localisation of this recipe: the original recipe calls for using the canning liquid in the beans. Edgell Black Beans have minimal liquid, compared to Annalisa which has a lot. Depending on your brand, add more or less water as desired. If they are too liquidy, the ‘sauce’ will still be tasty and the rice will soak it up well.</p>I normally have small cans of black beans on hand if I want to throw some into a quick chilli, but until now I hadn’t made a meal out of them.

<p>While the radish pickles are normally bright red, the neon yellow version I used here are <a href="http://www.kyuchan.co.jp/export/product_information/takuantaro/index.html">Tokyo Takuantaro</a>, and serve the job of cutting through the rich roux perfectly well.</p>
<p>I normally add a liberal amount of sriracha and <a href="https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/803610/house-foods-shichimi-togarashi">shichimi</a> to give it kick, although it’s perfectly fine on it’s own.</p>If you’ve never had this type of curry before, it’ll be different to what you’re expecting.Almond and chocolate chip biscuit2020-07-14T00:00:00+00:002020-07-14T00:00:00+00:00https://glasnt.com/foods/almond-biscuit<p>These bikkets are tasty af, and freeze really well.</p>

<p>When I say “soft” I mean soft! Try transferring the entire baking sheet to a wire tray for at least 5 minutes at least before attempting to move. Otherwise they’ll get all squishy!</p>
