Method

1.Gently cook the onions, garlic and sliced bacon in olive oil for around 12-15 minutes until soft. Add the maple syrup, sugar, mustard and chopped tomatoes.

2.Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 15 minutes before adding the two tins of drained cannellini beans. Simmer a further 15 minutes or until mixture thickens. Season with salt and milled pepper to taste.
