One afternoon I was looking through my pantry for things to cook as I really didn’t want to visit the supermarket. Amongst the things that I found were mostly boring old tinned vegetables, so I thought I’d try be a bit creative with them and some other spices around the kitchen. I came up with this dish, which is best served cold as a bean salad.

Beans, chickpeas, sweetcorn and tuna in a spicy tomato sauce

One tin of chickpeas, drained
One tin of sweetcorn, drained
One tin of tuna in brine, drained
Spring onion, chopped
Teaspoon of tabasco
Tomato puree
Chili beans in tomato sauce
Salt and pepper

1) In a big bowl, add the chickpeas, sweetcorn and tuna – mix
2) Add a splash of tabasco and spring onion
3) Finish up with remaining ingredients
4) Chill in fridge for 30 minutes
5) Serve
