British Baked Beans image

These are really good homemade baked beans (UK style, similar to Heinz baked beans here, not like Boston Baked Beans). It's a recipe which I got from Waitrose www.waitrose.com/recipes I'm putting it up here for safe keeping, this is now a firm family favourite. Please note that preparation and cooking times do not include the preparation of the beans.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

250 g pinto beans or 250 g haricot beans
200 g unsmoked back bacon (tastes better with) (optional)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tablespoons black treacle
800 g chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato puree
parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Soak the beans in cold water for 8 hours or overnight. Then cook according to pack instructions (I leave the lid off the pan, and add a tsp of baking soda to combat the gas producing side effects of beans. It works very well). Remember to boil well for 10 minutes before simmering, or you may get a tummy upset!
  • Heat a large pan and add the bacon if using (if not using, make sure you use something else to lift the beans - more salt, a bit of chili, worcester sauce or whatever. These can also be added to the bacon version for still more flavour). Fry for 1 minute.
  • Add the onion, celery (I use celery salt) and garlic, and continue to fry for 4-5 minutes until the bacon is cooked and the onion has started to soften.
  • Stir in the chopped tomatoes, black treacle and tomato puree. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the cooked beans. Return to the boil and simmer for about 10 minutes (or put into crockpot on low to be ready and waiting later).
  • Stir in the chopped parsley then spoon over toast, into jacket potato, or whatever.
  • Freezes well.
