Annalisa Canned Tomatoes, Beans, Chickpeas or Lentils 400g - 2 for $2 @ Coles

750

Couldn't find this in the catalogue but can see it online and I went in and bought 40 cans of beans for $40 lol : https://i.imgur.com/ESzEccm.png
Good deal on decent beans.
I usually buy the homebrand, these are better quality but not so much so that I would pay the premium for them normally.

I have also tried to get into dried beans, buying them dry and re-hydrating them myself. Shipping the dried beans kills the savings, as I live in Tasmania. So I just buy the cans.

    Aldi have canned beans for 95c a tin which are very similar in quality if anyone can't make it to a Coles. Cracking deal though, canned beans are the best

      I saw that when I was checking to see if anyone had posted this before. The Aldi beans seem very highly reviewed!
      I wish Aldi would come to Tassie ;_;

      This is what I do with them.
      Chilli con carne
      100g-200g grams of meat, beef or chicken breast or whatevs. Meat goes on the bottom, touching the pan/pot, so that it cooks through.
      4 Cans: Diced Tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, cannellini beans (drain the beans)
      One Old El Paso flavour sachet, I use the Taco one because it's less spicy but they have a proper Chilli Con Carne which is probably more appropriate
      Add 1.5 cups of water or stock or water+stock cubes

      Cook until the meat is cooked, or longer if you want it mushier.

      Serve straight away or freeze and reheat later, it stores great. I use an electric pressure cooker but a slow cooker or stovetop works fine too, that just changes how long it'll take to cook the meat.

        100g-200g of meat and 3 tins (1.2kg) of beans? I usually do a ~1:1 ratio of meat to beans.

        Needs a large onion. I always add a bit of garlic too. Finely chopped yellow capsicum. And a medium potato which I cook in a separate pan and throw in at the end for texture and taste.

        • +3

          You are 100% correct, but I will explain my choices anyway.

          There's only ~240g of beans in each tin, that's how they get you. But your point stands. I only do it like this because I'm cutting weight atm and chicken breast is expensive, while beans are cheap.

          The reason I don't go the extra mile with the onion/garlic/capsicum/potato is … I'm lazy. There's garlic powder and onion powder in the flavor sachet also.

          • @Joost:

            chicken breast is expensive

            Lol 11$/kg is not

              @cobknob: Get a load of this guy with chicken breast money. Talk about two-speed economy.

              • +1

                @Joost: That's 1kg. Should last you 8x servings unless your body building or over weight which you should be able to pay for yourself and not complain lol. Now if you said steak is expensive I would have said nothing cause porter, scotch, eye, is grossly priced.

          • +1

            @Joost: I've only ever used mince for a CCC, unless I've bought meat and minced it myself. Beef, or beef and pork mix, is my usual.

            Chicken breasts $8.99/kg here at Spudshed, often cheaper if there's only a couple days left!

            • @Charlie Dont Surf: Oh, wait, no I'm an idiot 🤦‍♂️
              I meant 100-200g of meat per serving. So 4 times as much.
              Well… shit.

    Stick with butter beans for low fodmap. I use them instead of red kidney beans in a modified deep south chilli recipe.

    Fresh chick peas taste better than canned! I'd imagine same goes for some beans vs others.

    • recipe plz

      • Its a work in progress. And taste varies greatly on seasonal canned mutti cherry tomatoes and organic vs generic spices I've found. I'll post later on weekend if your still interested?

      • Some backstory..

        For a while now I wanted to do some food prep so I could spend a lot less time in the kitchen cleaning up etc and save some money too. I really loved the core powerfoods deep south chilli which usually retails for 9$ and rarely on special for 6$ but often for 7.5$. So I looked at the ingredients list, looked up a few recipes online and I also wanted to minus onion and garlic so it'd be low fodmap. I've done this recipe 3-4x times only so far - its still a work in progress, and so I'm continually tweaking it. Another note is that unfortunately the price point for this varies from 4$-6$ per serve depending on what you get when you get it on special etc but you do get more meat, more veg per serve. I also pair it with basmati rice, green beans or/and snow peas (blanche only), and green cabbage (boiled). Keep the beans/peas to ~6 per serve and cabbage to about 75g tops but if you wanna veg it out feel free to add more :).

        You can downscale/upscale the recipe accordingly but I cook with 1kg beef mince because of ingredient ratios.

      • Ingredients

        1kg full fat beef mince
        1 med-large RED capsicum
        3x canned mutti cherry tomatoes
        2x leggos tomatoe paste no salt
        1x edgell butter beans

        spices/herbs
        6 tsp ground cumin powder
        6-8 tsp ground paprika
        1/2-1 tsp ground chilli pepper - add according to how spicy you want it!
        4-6 tsp light soy sauce
        3/4-1 tsp salt from a mill - not cooking salt!
        3/4 tsp ground white pepper
        **you can not substitute fresh herbs! so if they're expensive grow them don't buy em!
        fresh parsley bunch
        fresh basil small handful

        *for the cumin/paprika I've found the certified organic to give a bigger punch to the dish
        *I don't use olive oil cause I found it to be too strong

      • +2
        1. Put cumin, paprika, chilli powders in a small bowl
        2. Slice red capsicum thinly without seeds and place in a small bowl
        3. In a Med-Large pot on high heat add 1 tbsp of veg/canola/sunflower oil, brown mince just.
        4. Add spice powders to mince and mix
        5. Add light soy sauce and mix
        6. Add canned tomatoes, tomatoe paste and mix
        7. After ~5m reduce heat to half and cover mostly, reduce heat if necessary.
          7a. Stir every 10m or more regularly, and crush those cherry tomatoes with the back of a spoon.
          7b. After 20m add sliced red capsicum, and 1 can of rinsed butter beans
          7c. After 45m add salt and pepper
          7d. After 60m add finely chop parsley and fresh basil
        8. end. After 70m your dinner is ready!
        9. extra. Remember to cook the basmati rice and veg to add to this meal.

        Some further notes.
        Best served cooked piping hot with basmati rice and veg
        Time cooking will vary, sometimes you gotta wing it!
        2x cans of butter beans is too much. 1.5 might work well
        Can be frozen with veg and rice for reheating in microwave later on
        You can add finely chopped spring onion too

  • how does this brand tomato compare to mutti

    • These suck. They taste like metal.

    • +1

      Mutti are much better.

  • What's the difference between a lentil and a chickpea?

  • I have also tried to get into dried beans, buying them dry and re-hydrating them myself. Shipping the dried beans kills the savings, as I live in Tasmania. So I just buy the cans.

    Are times tough in Tassie?

  • BPA Free! 24 tins of wholes tomatoes, 12 Chickpeas and 12 Lenticce for em today! @mrw another day! With my Gold and Sliver massively increasing the past few weeks whats a few dollars on a few hundred tins of tomotoes, chickpeas and lentils! BTW people should look into why Silver and Gold are skyrocketting, and US troops have been told to have an airtight home, bunker if possible and a few months supply of water, non perishable foods and battery storage prepped

    • Your not gonna survive eating silver or gold lol

      • Thats why I have stocks of these, dried foods etc In Israel we all know where our bunkers are and what to do and we know our families can survive fallout for a few centuries.- here, what does the Uniparty give us? Where are our Oz Bunkers!

        • In Israel your fighting over religious territory lol. Ain't nothing like that in oz.

          Nuclear fallout has never happened. Few people would probably survive but it's the ones that are ultra prepared and that have ALL the gear - as in living and growing food underground with access to supplies, medicines, facilities, people, etc to keep things going. Living in a bunker with limited supplies will help during short term conventional war nothing more.

    Used to buy Annalisa religiously but I've found it's gone downhill in recent years. Last three times I've bought the chickpeas they've still been quite hard after cooking in regular recipes I've been cooking for years. Have swapped to the Coles brand and they are far better, like Annalisa used to be.

    Hot tip…. Look at the percentage of tomatoes on the ingredients list. Mutti is nearly double the rest most of the time.
