Receta Recipe For Home Made Baked Beans
Sweet potato and leek cakes with homemade baked beans
There are many reasons I chose to make the Home Made Baked Beans from scratch. But the main reason was that I really do not like the smell of the tomato sauce in the store bought canned beans. A long time ago, Dave asked me to do a delivery for him at a canning factory. They can pilchards which are most commonly served in tomato sauce. The fish are caught by the company, and then brought into the factory on conveyor belts. The head, tail and guts are removed and then the fish are placed into cans and topped with tomato sauce. Once the lid is on, they go through a heat cycle. And all you can smell during this process is the tomato sauce being cooked. And it is overpowering. Nearly more overpowering than the fish meal plant which deals with the heads and tails. I found the scent nauseating and since then I have not managed to open a tin of anything with tomato sauce without being taken back to that moment. But, since we have stopped eating starch at night, my love for beans has grown and as Dave loves baked beans, and I love Dave, I made these. We had them the first day as they were and then I used the two extra jars I had made for breakfast. In England, baked beans are served as part of a full breakfast and I used this as my inspiration. I put the baked beans into my tagine and cooked eggs on top of the heated beans. And it was a hearty breakfast indeed!
