Healthy Recipe of the Week
British-ish No Bake Beans
Similar to beans served with a full English breakfast and far less sweet than Boston-style beans.
Lots of flavor, easy to prepare, and freezes well!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Onion (sliced)
- 1 Garlic Clove (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Tomato Paste
- 1 Bay Leaf
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Coriander
- 1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 2 cups Butternut Squash (diced)
- 1 cup Tomato Purée (no-salt added)
- 2 (15 ounce) cans Cannellini Beans (no-salt added) (drained and rinsed)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Whole-Grain Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup (*may substitute with brown sugar)
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 1/4 cups Water
Directions
In a large, heavy pot or pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Sauté the onion until slightly browned (about 5 – 7 minutes). Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, bay leaf, paprika, coriander, and nutmeg. Cook, stirring constantly, until tomato paste colors the olive oil (about 1 minute). Add the butternut squash, tomato purée, cannellini beans, and 1 1/4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the sauce is glossy and the squash and beans are tender (about 5 – 7 minutes). Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, maple syrup (or brown sugar), and salt. Serve warm or cold.
Yields: 6 cups
