Ingredients Convert to Metric

  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp 'Lite' or table salt
  • 14 oz canned tomatoes
  • 2 cup dried white, cannellini, or haricot beans
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup molasses

Directions:

Rinse beans in cold water then place in a large saucepan of boiling water. Return to the boil and cook for 2 minutes.

Remove from heat, cover and leave to swell and soften for 1 hour. Drain.

Place tomatoes, molasses, onion, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce and salt in a large casserole. Stir in prepared beans. Cover and place in a slow oven for 4 to 6 hours. Very slow baking allows the full flavor to develop.

Variations:

An alternative method of cooking would be to place them in a slow cooker (crockpot). Make sure that there is sufficient liquid to just cover the beans.

Treacle can be used in place of molasses, use an equal amount.
