Steemit Sandwich Contest Week #48 - Beans Bunny

Here in the southern hemisphere, in South Africa to be precise, we are in the midst of winter. Durban is my hometown and I've told you all about our gorgeous mild winters, but I had to fly up to freezing cold Johannesburg unexpectedly, and my fingers are slowly freezing up whilst I'm doing my post.

There's nothing as warming as a spicy hot Curry on a cold winter's night, so I am making a Three Bean Bunny Chow aka Beans Bunny not only to warm our bellies, but also as my entry into Steemit Sandwich Contest #48
A huge shout-out to @jaybird, your SSC half century is winking at you already :):)

I told you all a couple of sandwiches ago about Durban's famous Bunny Chow and made you a spicy ground Beef Bunny, but this time I bring you a Vegan version, filled with spicy Beans, deliciousness hidden inside a mini loaf of bread!

A quick recap; Bunny Chows are synonymous with Durban, should you ever visit our city, do not leave without ordering one of these. Beware though, it will be hot hot hot and has to be shared with friends.
Basically it is a hollowed out loaf of bread filled with a spicy curry and eaten without cutlery by breaking off pieces of curry soaked bread to scoop up the curry.

I quote from that post:

Legend has it that Bunny Chows originated when migrant Indian sugarcane workers needed a container to carry their lunch to the sugar plantations, and a hollowed out loaf of bread was ideal to hold their vegetarian curries. The cut-out piece was used to make a lid.

Quite ingenious to say the least!

Ingredients required for an almost instant Beans Bunny:

• Spices: Curry Powder, Garum Masala, Turmeric, Cloves, Cinnamon stick, Curry leaves
• Crushed Garlic & Ginger
• Small Onion, diced
• Tomatoes, diced
• Baby Potatoes, parboiled
• 1 can each Red Kidney Beans, Butter Beans & Black Eyed Beans - drain most of the liquid
• Fresh Dhania (Coriander)
• Mini Bread

Sautee spices, Onions & Garlic & Ginger in a little oil.
Add Tomatoes and Potatoes and cook about 5 minutes.

Add drained beans and simmer slowly for about 20 minutes.

Cut off top of bread to make a lid, then hollow out the bread to make a basket for the curry filling.

Spicy hot Beans Bunny ready for the taking :)

Seal in all the goodness with the bread lid

Almost forgot my proof photo!

A quick look at the making of Beans Bunny:

Hope to see your sandwich here soon!
