British Baked Beans
Description
British Baked Beans feature cannellini beans cooked in a flavorful tomato-based sauce. The sauce starts with sautéed minced onion and garlic softened in olive oil, which builds a savory base. Tomato paste and pureed tomatoes add body and subtle sweetness balanced by maple syrup. Smoked paprika and dried thyme contribute smoky and herbal notes, while optional Worcestershire sauce adds complexity.
The beans simmer in this sauce until slightly thickened, creating a dish with tender beans enveloped in a bright, mildly smoky, and subtly sweet sauce. The seasoning with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper adjusts the final flavor. This dish can be served warm alongside toast or as part of a larger meal.
Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days or frozen for up to one month. Reheat gently before serving, ensuring the beans become heated through without losing texture.
