Barbecue Beans
Ingredients
- 2 cups of dried haricot beans (or similar white bean)
- 2 small onions, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 can of coke
- 2 cups (480ml) of passata
- 2 cups (480ml) of chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon of hot smoked paprika
- 2 tsp of onion powder
- 1 tsp of garlic powder
- 1 tsp of mustard powder
- 1 tablespoon of mixed herbs
- couple of splashes of Worcestershire sauce
- splash of balsamic vinegar
- salt and white pepper
- Spray oil
Instructions
- Place the haricot beans in a large bowl, cover with cold water and allow to soak overnight.
- Spray a large pot with some spray oil. Add the chopped onions and garlic and fry over a medium heat to soften. (also add the bacon at this stage if using bacon)
- Add the coke, passata, stock, mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
- Roughly blend sauce with a hand blender.
- Thoroughly rinse the soaked beans, then place in a pot, cover with water and season with salt, bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for approx 30 mins, until beans are cooked and softened. Drain and add the beans to the sauce, cover with a lid and continue to simmer for approx 1 hour on a low heat or if you prefer you can bake these for a couple of hours on a low temperature (150c or 300f (gas mark 2) in the oven . (These will also be great done in a slow cooker at either a high or low setting). Check the beans half way through cooking time, if they look like they are beginning to dry out a little, just add a little more stock or water.
- Once cooked, you can then portion the beans up into little tubs. I place some in the fridge and some in the freezer for another day.
- Great served on toast or jacket potatoes, or as a side to a main meal or as part of your breakfast.
- Also don’t forget that as these are homemade these will part count towards your ⅓ superfree.
- These would even be great added into a sausage casserole.
- Enjoy!!!!
