Instructions

1. Sauté Onion Heat a splash of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for a few minutes until soft.

2. Toast Spices Stir in all the spices and aromatics: curry powder, minced garlic, minced ginger, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, thyme, and diced chili peppers. Continue stirring for about a minute until highly fragrant.

3. Add Tomatoes Add the drained chopped tomatoes and fry for a minute to combine with the spices.

4. Simmer Vegetables Add the diced green and red bell peppers, grated carrots, and sliced cabbage. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the mixture from burning on the bottom of the pan.

5. Add Beans Stir in the canned baked beans. Let the mixture simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the beans are heated through and the flavors have melded together.
