Best Baked Beans

We love a savoury breakfast to ensure that we have the energy available to us for all of the day’s amazing adventures. When you start your day with a great balance of foods which includes a focus on fats & proteins, you’ll feel full for longer, have more energy, curb cravings & help to regulate your blood-sugar levels.

Course 2 meals a day, Baby Led Weaning, BLW, Breakfast, Family Meals, Main Course

Equipment

  • 1 Frypan
  • 1 Stirring Spoon
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 knife

Ingredients
  

  • Olive oil
  • 1/2  brown onion diced finely
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 400 grams crushed tomatoes
  • 400 grams tin of cannellini or butter beans, drained OR the equivalent dried, soaked & cooked beans
  • 400 grams tin kidney beans (or two tins white/cannellini beans if you prefer a more traditional baked-bean look), drained
  • 2 tsp  worcestershire Sauce*
  • 1/2 tsp  dried thyme (or fresh equivalent)
  • 1/2 tsp mild curry powder
  • 1/2-3/4 cup chicken stock or chicken broth 1 cup if you’d like a runnier sauce similar to canned beans
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Sautè onion over low-med heat in a frypan until nearly translucent. Add garlic & stir through, cooking until onion becomes translucent.
  • Add curry powder and stir through onion until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes & drained beans & stir until heated. Add chicken stock/broth, Worcestershire Sauce, thyme and a decent amount of pepper to taste (pref. cracked pepper). Salt to taste if including.
  • Cook on medium, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is your preferred consistency.

Notes

Best Baked Beans are super easy to make & can be made vegan by switching out the chicken stock/broth for vegetable stock (or even a dessert spoon of tomato paste & water if no stock is available).
*We’ve used the Coles Worcestershire Sauce as it contains no additives, however, use your choice of Worcestershire Sauce or omit if wanting to include no sugar in the beans (there’s a small amount in the sauce), alternatively, you can make your own mix of 1.5 tsp coconut sugar or equivalent sweetener (adjust to taste or omit), 1 tsp tamari or soy sauce, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar & 1/4 tsp allspice & add in place of the  Worcestershire Sauce in this recipe.
Serving suggestions: eggs cooked your way, avocado, labneh, sourdough or high-protein bread such as Pure Life Bakery Multiseed & Hemp sprouted loaf (as in image), greens (breakfast salad of fresh spinach, dill & parsley with lemon juice & olive oil) or wilted greens, mushrooms, feta or other soft cheese like goat’s cheese, bacon, salmon or leftover roast veggies.
