Baked Bean Curry Food

BAKED BEAN CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil/butter/ghee.
• Once hot, chop and add the garlic, ginger, onions and green chillis. Stir fry for around 2 minutes on medium heat. Do not let it stick to the pan, add a little water if needed.
• Add fennel seeds stir fry for a further 5 minutes or until the onion has turned a light shade of brown.
• When the oil seems to be seperating from the onion mixture around the edges (this will usually happen after about 15 minutes of stir frying since you put the onions in), add the cayenne pepper, turmeric powder, and tandoori masala.
• Stir fry for a further 5 minutes.
• Before adding the baked beans, just double check that any water that you may have added has evaporated. If so, then add the baked beans and let it simmer for a further ten minutes. Just make sure you stir now and then so it doesnt stick together at the bottom.
• Chop and stir in the coriander, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the paprika and toast, stirring, about 30 seconds. Add the tomato sauce, molasses, bourbon, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes.
• Add the beans and 8 cups water. Bring to a boil, then cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Bake until the beans are tender, about 3 hours. (If the beans are still slightly firm, continue cooking, stirring every 45 minutes and adding more water if necessary to just cover.)
• Once the beans are tender, uncover and increase the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Bake until the beans are thick and browned, about 1 more hour. (Again, if the beans need more time, continue cooking, stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary.) Remove from the oven and thin with water if necessary.
