BAKED BEANS WITH MINT, PEPPERS AND TOMATOES



Baked Beans With Mint, Peppers and Tomatoes image

I'm becoming hooked on baked beans. The long, slow, gentle cooking called for in this recipe results in a thick, sweet sauce and very soft beans.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound borlotti or pinto beans, rinsed, picked over and soaked, if desired, in 2 quarts water for six hours or overnight
1 dried or fresh hot red chili pepper
Salt
2 medium onions, chopped
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 large garlic cloves, minced or pressed
2 red bell peppers, chopped
2 teaspoons paprika
1 14-ounce can chopped tomatoes with juice
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, plus additional for garnish

Steps:

  • If you have soaked the beans, drain them over a bowl and use the soaking water for cooking. Combine with enough water to cover by two inches in a large, ovenproof casserole or Dutch oven. Add the dried chili, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer 45 minutes to an hour until the beans are tender but intact. Stir in salt to taste.
  • While the beans are simmering, heat the oven to 300 degrees and prepare the remaining vegetables. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy frying pan. Add the onions. Stir together, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes until lightly browned. Stir in the garlic, the red peppers and a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring, for five minutes until the peppers are just tender and the mixture is fragrant. Add the paprika, tomatoes and tomato paste, and cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down a little, five to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, and add this mixture to the beans. Add freshly ground pepper and the mint, and blend the mixture thoroughly. Taste and adjust salt.
  • Place the beans in the oven, and bake, covered, for 1 1/2 hours until very tender and the broth has reduced to a thick sauce. Stir and check from time to time to make sure the beans are covered with liquid. Add hot water if necessary. Garnish with additional mint and serve, or allow to cool and serve warm.

A classic recipe from Northern Greece that is ready in just 30 minutes!

Provided by Marilena Leavitt

Categories     Appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ripe pearl tomatoes, or, 1 large vine-ripened tomato
4 TBSP. extra virgin olive oil
--- sea salt & crushed red pepper flakes
½ medium green bell pepper (or 2 sweet banana peppers)
2 thick slices of Greek Feta (about 6 oz.)
1 tsp. dried Greek oregano
4 slices of hearty multigrain bread, grilled

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
  • Slice the pearl tomatoes horizontally (each one in four pieces) and place on paper towels to drain. (If you are using one large tomato, cut the end pieces and slice the rest in six slices). After 3-4 minutes, turn them over and place on new paper towels. Cut the pepper into four rings and set aside.
  • Oil well a small, shallow ceramic baking dish (or four individual ceramic ramekins) and place half of the tomato slices at the bottom. Sprinkle with some sea salt and crushed pepper flakes. Top with half the bell pepper slices.
  • Arrange the two Feta pieces on top of the tomato/pepper layer, place the remaining tomato slices on top of each piece of cheese, and place the rest of the bell pepper rings on the tomato. Drizzle liberally with the extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with oregano and some more pepper flakes, and transfer to the middle of the oven.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the feta turns a light-golden color and the oil is sizzling. If you want to deepen the color, you can place the dish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end of the cooking time.
  • Brush some olive oil on the slices of good, multigrain bread, and grill on both sides. Serve the baked feta immediately with some warm grilled bread.

Time 15h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup dried navy beans
4 cups water
¼ cup ketchup
¼ cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon chili powder
1 small onion, chopped

BLISTERED GREEN BEANS AND TOMATOES WITH HONEY, HARISSA AND MINT



Blistered Green Beans and Tomatoes With Honey, Harissa and Mint image

It's worth seeking out a well-seasoned cast-iron pan for this recipe as the heat will evenly distribute throughout the surface area helping to ensure beautifully charred, but tender vegetables. Smoky, earthy harissa is given a lift with the addition of honey and lime juice, which is tossed with the green beans and tomatoes and some butter to melt at the end of cooking. Serve with grilled sausages for a fast and flavorful summer meal.

Provided by Colu Henry

Categories     dinner, vegetables, main course, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons harissa
2 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon lime juice (about 1/2 lime)
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound green beans, trimmed
10 ounces grape or cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons roughly chopped mint
Flaky salt for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine harissa, honey and lime juice. Stir together until combined and season to taste with salt.
  • In large cast-iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil and the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add green beans and cook undisturbed until they began to char in spots, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook, tossing frequently, until beans are just cooked through and slightly blistered and browned in spots, about 5 to 6 minutes more. Some beans will be more cooked than others - that's O.K. Season with salt and place beans in a bowl.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil in the skillet. Add tomatoes and cook undisturbed until they also begin to char in spots, about 1 minute. Stir tomatoes frequently until they are just cooked through and some begin to burst, about 2 minutes more. They do not need to be totally cooked through. Season with salt.
  • Remove skillet from heat and add green beans. Add harissa mixture and butter and toss until everything is combined and butter is melted. Add in half of the mint and stir again. Spoon into a large bowl and scatter with remaining mint. Garnish with flaky salt, if using.
