- Run a potato peeler down either side of the beans to remove any stringy bits. Cut on the diagonal into 2cm pieces. Heat the olive oil in a large wide frying pan and add the garlic. Cook for 2 minutes then add the beans, chilli and cloves.
- Cook for 2 minutes then tip in the drained tomatoes. Cover and cook for 20-30 minutes until the beans are tender and the sauce is thick and rich. Stir through the basil just before serving.
