VEGETARIAN BAKED BEANS

These easy-to-make baked beans from author Margaret Roach are an ideal meal choice for vegetarians looking to up their protein intake. If you prefer spicy foods, add some hot sauce. Meat-eaters, try substituting thick-cut bacon for onions.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound dried cranberry, navy, or yellow eye beans
1/4 cup molasses, preferably organic
1/4 cup grade A medium-amber maple syrup
1/4 cup grainy mustard
6 fresh, peeled, or canned whole plum tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, peeled and quartered
Boiling water
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Place beans in a large pot and add enough water to cover; let soak overnight. Drain and return to pot; add enough water to cover and simmer over medium-high heat for 30 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl; stir in molasses, maple syrup, mustard, and tomatoes. Set aside.
  • Coat the bottom of a Dutch oven or a 9-by-13-inch high-sided baking dish with olive oil. Add onions and top with bean mixture. Add enough boiling water to cover bean mixture by 1 inch. Cover Dutch oven with lid or baking dish with parchment paper-lined aluminum foil. Transfer to oven and bake until beans are softened, about 1 1/2 hours, checking water level and adding more as necessary.
  • Uncover beans and continue baking until thick and syrupy, about 45 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more digestible.
  • Use a variety of beans: This will give your baked beans a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and navy beans.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: This will make your baked beans more nutritious and filling. Some good options include onions, celery, carrots, and bell peppers.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings the baked beans together, so make sure to use one that you love. Some good options include a tomato-based sauce, a barbecue sauce, or a molasses-based sauce.
  • Bake the beans low and slow: This will help to develop the flavors and make the beans more tender.
  • Serve the beans with your favorite toppings: Some good options include shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Vegetarian baked beans are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great source of protein, fiber, and vitamins, and they can be served as a main course or a side dish. Whether you are a vegetarian or meat-eater, you are sure to enjoy this hearty and flavorful dish.
