Homemade Barbecue Baked Beans Recipe

Baked beans are traditionally made from white haricot beans, you can by them dried or ready hydrated straight out of the tin. Either way is good but if using dried, you will have to allow for an overnight soak before making the final preparations.

Stage two is then about the homemade barbecue sauce of your choice and I've got bucket loads to choose from. So if you're stuck just try the one I use below.

Ingredients:-

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic crushed
• 2 finely chopped onions
• 1 can chopped tomatoes
• 1 tube (3.15oz or 90g) tomato purée
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dry English mustard
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ground black pepper to taste

Method:-

Fry the garlic and onions gently in the oil for 2-3 minutes until the onions go clear, then add the remaining ingredients. Bring to the boil, add the hydrated haricot beans, cover and simmer for about 20 - 30 minutes until the beans have softened. You'll find that the tinned ready hydrated beans will need less cooking because they're already soft so it's more about warming through and making sure that the onion and garlic flavors have time to infuse.

The barbecue sauce will make up well with a 400g can of hydrated beans or 100g of dried beans.

TIP - Don't be afraid to try out other types of beans. Pinto beans or canellini beans work just as well and if you've got that cheeky style throw in some green flageolet beans for a comedic color!
