This recipe is incredibly simple to make, and it's fat-free, yet these are the most delicious beans I've had. The secret ingredient is the salt-preserved lemon, a flavor like no other. Serve hot in small bowls as a side dish or snack. Good with eggs, tortillas, or other Mexican food. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator.

Categories     side-dish

Time 16h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound dried Great Northern beans
1 pound bacon, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 jalapenos, chopped
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
Vegetable broth
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Soak beans in a plastic container overnight in just enough cold water to submerge them completely.
  • Place a cast iron Dutch oven over medium heat and stir in the bacon, onion, and jalapenos until enough fat has rendered from the bacon to soften the onions, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, dark brown sugar, and molasses.
  • Drain the beans and reserve the soaking liquid. Add the drained beans to the Dutch oven. Place the soaking liquid in a measuring cup and add enough vegetable broth to equal 4 cups of liquid. Add the liquid to the Dutch oven and bring to a boil over high heat. Add in cayenne, black pepper and salt. Give them a stir and cover with the lid. Place the Dutch oven in the oven for 6 to 8 hours, or until the beans are tender.

Tips:

  • Soak your beans overnight. This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a variety of beans. Different beans have different flavors and textures, so using a variety will add interest to your dish.

  • Add vegetables and other ingredients to your beans. This will add flavor and nutrients to your dish. Some good additions include onions, garlic, peppers, tomatoes, corn, and zucchini.
  • Serve your beans with a variety of sides. Beans can be served with rice, pasta, bread, or salad. You can also use them as a filling for tacos, burritos, or quesadillas.

Conclusion:

Beans are a versatile and affordable ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and nutrients. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make delicious and healthy bean dishes that your whole family will enjoy.
