The Best Baked Beans
Ingredients:
- 1 can cannellini or butter beans, soak over night with a strip of Kombu.
- 1 can chopped tomatoes
- 1 punnet cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters
- 1 T. tomato paste
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 1 T. malt vinegar
- 1 T. paprika
- ½ t. turmeric powder
- to serve: salt, pepper and chopped fresh parsley
How to make The Best Bake Beans:
- Soak your beans with plenty of water overnight with a piece of kombu. In the morning drain out the water and discard the kombu.
- To make your sauce in a sauce pan combine all ingredients except beans (and salt, pepper & parsley) and simmer for 15 minutes or until the sauce becomes thickened (not watery).
- Now stir your sauce into your beans. Pour the mixture into a crock pot (or shallow cake tin as I used) and bake at around 180 degrees F for around 20-30 minutes or until the beans are soft and the sauce has thickened up a bit more.
- Serve your beans on a piece of sourdough bread with butter and then top the beans with salt, pepper and parsley.
Notes: you can prepare the sauce the night before so after you’ve drained the beans all you need to do is combine the beans and sauce and bake.
