METHOD
1
Brown the mushrooms
Cook the diced mushrooms in oil over high heat for ten minutes until very dry — concentrated flavour.
2
Build the base
Add onion to the pan. Soften for five minutes. Add garlic, tomato puree and paprika and stir for two minutes.
3
Simmer
Add all three drained bean cans and 300ml water. Simmer for twenty-five minutes.
4
Finish dark
Stir in chocolate just before serving — it should melt into a glossy depth without sweetening.
