I tried my hand at some baked beans recenly (first time) and do believe there is room for improvement, any suggestions will be welcome.
This is my concoction, very random -
500g haricot beans(soaked overnight)
4 onions
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup tomato puree
black pepper
salt
dash worchester sauce
dash chilli powder
dash mustard powder
dash ketchup
dash sugar
10 cocktail tomatoes
1/2 green pepper
fresh basil
Boil beans for an hour them wash off skins (is this necessary or should I leave them in?)
Fry onions and garlic till soft
Add all other ingredients, fry
Add to beans (in pressure cooker) and cook for about an hour
Add thickner
It was quite tasty but something is missing...? Apart from canning, what would be the best method of storing? Thanks
