Steps:
- Saute onions garlic and ginger on high heat until fragrant ( about 2 minutes).
- Add the drained kidney beans, ketchup and 1/2 cup of water and stir.
- I don't bother adding salt to this, as the brine that the beans were soaked in is sufficient. However if you wish you can salt to taste.
- Cover and simmer until the sauce has thickened. (About 5-10mins). It depends on how much water you put inches.
- NB. When cooking in the US and Canada I found that North American ketchups tend to be more tart and acidic than Caribbean ones.
- For an authentic caribbean flavour, add sugar to the sauce 1 tsp at a time until you get the desired sweetness.
