Sometimes on Saturday mornings I finish my coffee and turn on “Saturday Kitchen live”.\u00a0 In it I saw Tom Kerridge’s recipe for proper beans on toast. Tom said that once one tries it, there’s no way back to the canned alternative.\u00a0 Well, there is a way back, I’d say, as canned alternative doesn’t take 12 hours of soaking the beans and then over 2 hours cooking. But it’s worth it. Super rich flavour and I still went easy on vinegar.<\/p>\n
So, about 150 g of haricot beans were cosily soaking over night and most of the day. Then drained and boiled for nearly an hour.<\/p>\n
Some bacon, chopped and fried on rapeseed oil, chopped onion and a crushed clove of garlic, then 200 g of passata, a splosh of ketchup, 4 tbsps of brown sugar, about 70 ml of white wine vinegar ( recipe called for red, I had none) and about 250 ml of water- all this went in and was brought to the boil. Then the beans went in and it all cooked down slowly for over an hour.<\/p>\n
Tom also baked the soda bread to go with his beans, I served mine with rustic French baguette.\u00a0 One thing can make it better- the marriage with some grilled chipolatas. Next week. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
