I'm in love with Ellie Krieger. I use her So Easy cookbook at least 2 times a week. All the recipes are delish and very healthy. This is a healthy take on baked beans. My husband (who is very into full fat flavor) requests this dish at least twice a month. (It's my secret that it's good for him and doesn't take much effort in the kitchen!) Sometimes I use a maple ham and I usually let it simmer for an hour instead of 15 min, but 15 min. works fine, too. Ellie Krieger suggests all the canned goods be low sodium for better health. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons canola oil |
1 medium onion, diced |
12 ounces smoked virginia ham, cut into 1/4 inch cubes |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 (15 ounce) cans navy beans, drained and rinsed |
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes |
1/2 cup water |
1/4 cup unsulfered molasses |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1 tablespoon cider vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
2. Add onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minute.
3. Add the ham and garlic and cook for an additional 3 minute.
4. Stir in the beans, crushed tomatoes, water, molasses, mustard, vinegar, and pepper.
5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
6. Cover and cook until about half of the liquid is absorbed, 15 minute.
