Time 7h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup dried cranberry beans
water as needed
1 bay leaf
1 cube vegetable bouillon cube, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
½ cup diced bell pepper
1 cup tomato sauce
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon chipotle flakes
½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Steps:

  • Cover beans with water in a large pot and allow to soak for 6 to 8 hours. Drain and rinse under cold running water.
  • Cover soaked beans with fresh water about 3 inches above the top of the beans and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add bay leaf and 1/2 of the bouillon cube. Reduce heat and simmer until beans are al dente, about 45 minutes.
  • Drain beans and reserve the liquid. Discard bay leaf.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add onion and bell pepper; cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add drained beans and stir to combine. Add remaining 1/2 bouillon cube, tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar, mustard, vinegar, chipotle flakes, and paprika. Stir and simmer until sauce has cooked down and beans are soft but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Add some of the reserved bean stock if necessary to keep it from burning, but not too much to make it soupy. Serve warm.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cranberry sauce. I had some leftover from Thanksgiving and I'm so glad I found this recipe. The beans and cranberries are a perfect combination.
