For secret santa at my work last Christmas I received Matt Preston's recipe book.
To be honest not a lot of the recipes have appealed to me, but this one for baked beans did sound delicious, and its so simple.
Firstly you cook off the bacon and onion.
Next goes in tinned tomatoes, and I decided to also add zucchini and mushroom.
What makes this super delicious (and not so good for you!) is the maple syrup (1/3 cup), Worcestershire sauce (2 Tbsp) and brown sugar (1 Tbsp) you add next.
Along with cannellini beans, bay leaf, water and some seasoning it is cooked in the oven covered for an hour and a half.
It is then uncovered, sprinkled with sugar and baked for another half an hour.
We served it with some homemade sourdough and oh my, it was tasty.
Looking really delish! Can imagine heavenly aroma floating around, yum. Got my eye on your next posts.
ReplyDeleteyour version of baked beans is gourmet and looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh this looks delicious, love the addition of maple syrup and Worcestershire sauce. A perfect addition to your bread I am sure!

ReplyDeleteThis sounds yummy indeed Muppy, and I bet it still has less calories than the tinned ones :)
ReplyDeleteI find home style baked beans much more satisfying than canned. You can control the flavours and what's put in there, and at least you know what's in it! Yours look so mouth watering. It's breakfast time and this post is making me hungry.
ReplyDeleteLove homemade baked beans. Such a contrast to the inferior tinned version!
ReplyDeleteoh wow I've never thought to make home made baked beans before. mmm maple syrup goodness hehe

ReplyDeleteHome made baked beans are awesome. I seriously don't know why I don't do it more often. Love the chunkiness of the ingredients the ones you made from Matt's book.
ReplyDeleteOh man that looks incredible! May add that to my list! Hope you're well xx
