Background
If you like baked beans, why don’t you try this interesting version, made with anchovy? If you like meat, you can add 50g pancetta or lardons to the recipe ( after the onion and garlic have softened). These baked beans with anchovy are perfect for breakfast/brunch or go really well with grilled meat and fish. I made it with pinto beans, but you can use cannellini beans, black beans, haricot beans etc for this recipe.
Ingredients
- 30g butter or 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 or 3 canned anchovies
- 2 medium onions
- 3 medium tomatoes
- 1 Tbsp. tomato purée
- 1 Tbsp chopped basil ( or1 tsp dried oregano)
- ½ tsp brown sugar
- 2 tins of beans (such as pinto)
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Melt the butter, add the anchovy, garlic, onion. Gently sauté for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Add the beans, tomato purée, herbs, sugar and stir for a few seconds.
- Add the water and bring to a boil.
- Gently simmer for 30 minutes under cover.
- Serve warm.
