Southwest Beans
As a child growing up, baked beans around our house meant pork belly, blackstrap molasses, and maple syrup... love those beans. But as you may have noticed we like to play around in the kitchen so we started playing with different spices and mixtures. This bean recipe works really well with recipes that fall loosely into what could be called 'Southwest' or 'Tex-Mex' cooking. It's not true to any style... rather it's a bit of a mongrel, but these are very tasty beans.
The recipe in the video is very basic, we will more often than not dress them up with some chipotle in adobo, or some sliced jalapeno peppers. Nothing too hot, because these really are meant to compliment the other foods on your plate.
In this video we use xtrema cookware, these are great pots for stovetop / oven use.
Ingredients:
1 cup dry navy beans
4-5 cups water
1 onion sliced thinly
3 strips bacon chopped
1 Tbsp hot and spicy BBQ rub
Optional:
cilantro for garnish
chipotle or jalapeno pepper
Method:
Place dry beans water, bacon, and onion into an ovenproof pot on your stovetop.
Cover and bring to a boil.
Cook covered for one hour, checking occasionally to see if you need to add more water.
After one hour add more liquid if needed, and stir in spice mix.
Replace lid and place in a pre heated (425ºf) oven.
Cook for 4-6 hours, checking occasionally to see if more liquid is needed.
Serve alongside BBQ or our oven pulled pork recipe.
