To prepare, simply open the can and heat the contents gently in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating. Alternatively, you can transfer the contents to a microwave-safe dish and heat on high power for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. It can also be added directly to other dishes during their cooking process to infuse them with its flavor and texture. Avoid boiling, as this can alter the texture of the beans and sauce.
