LOUISE’S HOMEMADE BAKED BEANS
Ingredients:
3 tbsp olive oil
3 medium onions,
chopped 4 cloves garlic,
chopped 2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp ground cloves
3 heaped tbsp tomato sauce
250 ml passata (passata: Ek het dit al by PnP gesien in ‘n bottel. Dit is basies tamatiepuree wat ons in blikkies kry)
300 ml water
2 cans haricot beans, rinsed and drained (ek sal klein wit bone gebruik en gewoonweg kook in my drukkoker soos vir sop)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp brown sugar
Method:
1. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof pan. Add the onions and garlic and fry until soft and golden. Sprinkle over the paprika and ground cloves and cook for 1 minute then stir through the ketchup.
2. Add the passata and water and bring to the boil. Simmer for about 10 minutes before liquidizing until smooth.
3. Pre-heat oven to 150C/gas 2.
4. Add the beans, Worcestershire sauce and sugar to the tomato sauce. Season with salt. Stir well and bring back to the boil.
5. Put on a lid and transfer to the oven for 1 hour 30 minutes. Stir in some boiling water before serving if the beans are a bit dry.
