Ingredients

  

• 2 cups of pinto beans or white beans
• 2 medium onions
• 1 clove of garlic
• 25 g butter
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of turmeric

Instructions

 

• First things first, you'll need to start the night before by soaking your beans. This step helps to eliminate the beans' gas-producing properties, making them more digestible. Remember to replace the soaking water every few hours if you can.
• The next day, we begin the Baked Beans Recipe with a basic yet critical ingredient: the onion. Peel and finely chop your onion, and in a suitable pot, sauté it with a dash of olive oil on medium heat until it softens. This usually takes around 3 minutes. The simple act of sautéing the onions adds a beautiful depth of flavor to the dish.
• Next, we'll build upon that flavorful base by adding some minced garlic, a little salt, black pepper, and turmeric. These aromatics will provide the savory backbone of your Baked Beans Recipe. Give the mix another minute to sauté before you stir in some tomato paste, allowing it to fry for 5 minutes. This process deepens the color and flavor of the tomato paste.
• Now that our tomato paste has developed a nice color, it's time to introduce the beans. Rinse the soaked beans well, strain them, and add them to the pot. Pour in three cups of boiling water and stir to combine all the ingredients.
• Cover your pot and let the beans simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours. Remember, good things take time, and slow-cooking the beans will help extract all the flavors. We're keeping our Baked Beans Recipe simple and omitting potatoes. However, if you wish to include them, peel and chop a potato into small cubes, rinse it with cold water, and set it aside.
• After 30 minutes of bean simmering, it's time to add the prepared potatoes. Be cautious not to add them too early, as they might get mushy and negatively impact the dish's appearance.
• In a small pan, melt some butter and stir in flour. Give it a few minutes to cook off the raw flour taste. Towards the last 30 minutes of your bean cooking time, stir in this butter-flour mixture. It will give your Baked Beans Recipe a deliciously creamy texture.
• Finally, take a taste of your creation and adjust the seasoning with more salt if needed. Serve this delicious dish with some freshly baked bread, and you've got yourself a comforting and satisfying meal. There you have it - the perfect Baked Beans Recipe from AmazeCooking! I hope you enjoy this as much as my family and I do. Bon Appétit!

A Mushroom Twist – For the Fungi Lovers

For those of you who love a bit of an earthy note in your dishes, this step is for you! To incorporate mushrooms into our Baked Beans Recipe, start by thinly slicing your mushrooms. Then, sauté them in a bit of olive oil. To prevent them from turning black and maintain their fresh appearance, squeeze a tablespoon of lemon juice while sautéing. This will keep them looking vibrant and appealing. Finally, add the mushrooms during the last 30 minutes of the bean cooking time. This addition not only adds a wonderful flavor but also provides a beautiful contrast in textures. Enjoy this fungal flair in your beans!
