These tasty savory beans are great. The alcohol adds a nice depth of flavor to this savory, sweet dish. I got the thumbs up from my picky guy, so I am sharing this dish. Who would have thought, it could taste this good, my dh didn't. I have adjusted the cooking time. Ingredients:
1/4 cup strong brewed coffee |
1/4 cup cider vinegar |
1 cup water |
2 tablespoons salted butter |
3 tablespoons dark molasses |
2 tablespoons real maple syrup |
1/8 cup brown sugar (optional) |
2 teaspoons powdered dry mustard |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional) |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, fresh ground |
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/8 teaspoon dried rosemary |
1 ounce brandy, good quality |
1/2 ounce kahlua (optional) |
14 ounces red kidney beans, drained |
14 ounces pinto beans, drained |
1 sweet onion, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. In a small saucepan, combine coffee, cider vinegar, water, butter, molasses, maple syrup, dry mustard, garlic, salt, cayenne pepper, liquid smoke, black pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
3. Bring this sauce to a slow boil and gently simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and stir in brandy and Kahlua.
5. Taste and adjust seasonings or sugar to your taste preference if necessary.
6. Place beans in a glass casserole dish and top with sauce, combine well then top with the sliced onions.
7. Bake uncovered in a preheated oven for 4 - 8 hours or until desired tenderness is achieved. If you find that the bean are runny then keep in the oven longer, making sure to watch that they don't burn or that the liquid doesn't completed dry out.
8. Please add a little water if they start to get dry.
