Ingredients
- 1 lb dried white beans (450 g), soaked overnight
- 3,5 oz salted bacon (100 g)
- 1 small onion chopped
- 3 medium garlic cloves chopped
- 2 cups chicken stock (480 ml)
- 5,5 oz tomato ketchup (155 g)
- 12,5 oz canned chopped tomatoes (350 g)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove
- pepper
- salt
Instructions
-
Add the chopped onion and garlic to a large pan. Chop the bacon finely (if using). Also add it to the pan together with the olive oil.
-
Place the pan over medium heat until the oil is hot. Stir fry the ingredients for 5 minutes. Strain the soaked beans and add them to the pan.
-
Add the rest of the ingredients also. Season with a good dash of pepper and salt.
-
Stir the ingredients well. Bring them to a good boil while you preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the hot beans and tomato sauce to a baking dish.
-
Cover with a lid or tinfoil. Then place the dish in the hot oven and bake the beans for 2 hours. Check the beans halfway through cooking time, stir them well. Then turn the oven off but leave the dish with the beans in the hot oven for another hour. Remove the dish, check the seasoning and add extra pepper, salt, ketchup or brown sugar to taste if necessary. Also check if the beans are tender: they should be super soft and smooth. Serve the beans warm.
