Brilliant Baked Beans

Another one from How It All Vegan,

300g cooked beans - pinto, kidney haricot or soy
(I started with 250g dried haricot, soaked for 12 hours, boiled for 15 mins, simmered for 1.5 hours)
350ml vegetable stock
1 tsp molasses (I used 1tbsp brown sugar)
175g tomato puree
1 small onion, chopped
1-2 cloves garlic, crushed
4 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp mustard powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika.

Simply put everything in a baking dish, bake uncovered at 180C / Gas mark 4 for 40 mins. Makes 2-4 servings.

My twist: sieved toms not puree but be careful not too much fluid - make the stock after you've added the toms & soy sauce. Also added 1 tbsp madras curry powder.

These freeze great which is good as it's 13 hours from dried beans to eating, so make the whole 500g bag of dried beans and find some room in the freezer - defrost and fry, yummy.

Much nicer than canned aren't they?
You will have to get an electric pressure cooker than you can cook the beans in 12 minutes.
