ST. JOHN BEANS AND BACON



St. John Beans and Bacon image

The London chef Fergus Henderson specializes in making British classics even more delicious at his popular restaurant St. John. Here's his fragrant, richly flavored version of traditional baked beans with salt pork, a dish that evolved into an American staple. Using lots of fresh herbs and a little canned tomato is the key; pass crusty bread at the table to mop up the sauce.

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound dried white beans, soaked overnight
1/4 cup duck fat or extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound salt pork or pancetta, cut into large lardons (about 1/4 inch by 1 inch)
1 quart good-quality chicken or meat stock
6 garlic cloves, left whole (no need to peel)
1 large bouquet garni of sage, thyme, rosemary and parsley, tied
2 large white or yellow onions, chopped
2 leeks, trimmed, white and pale green parts thinly sliced
3 celery stalks, thinly sliced
Sea salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 (14-ounce) can Italian plum tomatoes and their juices

Steps:

  • Drain the beans and put them in a medium pot. Cover by about 1 inch of cold water, bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until beans are thoroughly giving (but not mushy). This will take approximately 1 to 2 hours, depending on the freshness of the beans. Once cooked, remove from the heat, but keep them in their liquor so they do not dry out.
  • Get a large, deep pan hot and add the duck fat (or oil). Add the lardons and cook over low heat to render the fat, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
  • In a saucepan, combine stock, garlic cloves and bouquet garni. Heat to a simmer then cook, 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  • When the lardons are golden, remove with a slotted spoon. To the fat in the pan, add onions, leeks and celery, season with salt and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the sage and the entire tin of tomatoes and their juices, crushing the tomatoes in your hands as you do so. Let this cook down for 15 minutes to thicken the tomatoes, stirring to remove all the good lardon bits that might adhere to the pan. Stir in 1 cup of the simmered stock. Season to taste.
  • Drain the beans and add them to the pan with the tomato mixture. Add the lardons and 1 more cup stock and gently mix everything together. Season very well with salt and pepper. Cover and let cook over low heat for 10 to 20 minutes, adding stock a ladleful at a time if the mixture seems to be drying out. Serve hot.

Time 10h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound dry navy beans
6 cups water
1 pinch baking soda
1 bay leaf
6 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 yellow onion, diced
⅓ cup molasses
¼ cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Soak navy beans overnight in a large bowl with enough water by several inches. Drain and place beans into a large Dutch oven or heavy pot with 6 cups water, baking soda, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and boil for 10 minutes. Drain, saving bean-cooking liquid.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Transfer beans into clean Dutch oven and stir bacon, onion, molasses, brown sugar, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper into beans. Pour enough of the hot reserved bean liquid in to cover beans; stir.
  • Cover Dutch oven and bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Check liquid level and add more of the reserved bean liquid to bring liquid up to cover beans. Return to oven and continue baking until beans are tender and almost all the liquid has been absorbed, about 1 hour.
  • Raise oven heat to 350; bake beans uncovered in oven until top develops a flavorful crust, 20 to 30 more minutes.
