Fart Phobia? And a fart-free recipe for Black Bean Ragu (vegan)

It sounds silly but farting is a genuine consideration in a lot of peoples' cooking, especially those of us with the most tedious of all the tedious food intolerances, #FODMAP.

Garlic and onion are the devil to our digestive systems and a "bad case of the farts" is way worse than it sounds!

BLACK BEAN RAGU - NO FARTS!

Dice 2 medium eggplant to a 1cm dice

Fry that off in a big frypan in 4tbs of HOT olive oil. Allow 10 mins to really get it soft and a little browned, shrunken down and looking edible and awesome.

Meanwhile, in a blender/food processor, whizz 1 tin of black beans, including the liquid, with 3 good-sized tomatoes, 1tbs white miso, 2tbs tomato paste, and 2 tsp of chilli oil (I use gochujang)

Add this to the frypan with a second tin of black beans, this one drained and rinsed, and 200ml stock.

Allow to cook down for another 5-10 minutes.

Serve on rice, pasta, polenta, toast or on its own.
