Baked Beans on the KK

Recommended Posts

I haven't made baked beans in a long time so here goes.

In with the beans are 2 poblano peppers, some Tabasco, ends from 2 batches of homemade bacon, onion, garlic, mustard, brown sugar, Oro di Parma cider vinegar, molasses, beer, next time I'll use Guinness and salt and pepper.

Beans are now done and I have just taken them off the grill.

Baked Beans

 

***** I was kind of winging it when I did the beans and this is pretty much what I did. The following recipe is what I'm going to do the next time I do baked beans. I can't remember if I minced a large clove of garlic for this recipe or not. It wouldn't hurt either way.

 

500 grams Organic White Navy beans

1 Sweet Onion, diced

1 large clove of garlic minced

½ C brown sugar, not packed

3 - 3 inch long squirts of Oro di Parma

½ C cider vinegar

2/3 C cup molasses

1 C of beer, use Guinness next time. (I used IPA because that is what I had.)

2 tsp salt 1t in water for boiling and one in finishing liquid.

1t dry mustard

4-5 shakes of Tabasco pepper sauce

Bacon ends from 2 cured and smoked pork bellies

2 poblano peppers minced, next time I’d use 3

Add more liquid if it’s needed. Mine was quite wet and I did think I had added too much but it turned out to be just right.

Instructions:

1) Bring a pot of water to boiling, turn heat off and add beans, soak overnight. Mine were still chalky when I put them on to boil. An indication that the beans were not fully hydrated.

2) Simmer 1-2 hours in salted water. I used 1 t of salt from ingredient list.

3) Mix the remaining 1t salt and the above ingredients in a Dutch oven.

4) Bake low and slow for 7 or more hours until bean texture is just right. I used 325 F and note it takes a long time for this big pot of beans in Le Creuset to heat up. Leave the cover off so that the beans will pick up some smoky flavour but keep an eye on the liquid.
