Tarian Pantry Kitchen Diary

Our focus is on growing, purchasing and cooking with good plant based foods. Food and cooking doesn't need to be complex. It's about enjoying the simplicity that nature has to offer and reminding you not to loose sight of where food comes from.

Homemade baked beans

As a child there was always the dilemma of what was more liked: canned spaghetti or beans. But now as 'grown ups' the dilemma is now very much one sided - we are all for the beans.

The Tarian team are still partial to Heinz beans. We grew up with this canned variety so its part of our heritage however after many Sunday morning fry ups, the perfect food item on any plate is homemade baked beans.

The ingredients are simple: Tarian's basic tomato sauce, lima beans, paprika, chilli and additional vegetables such as carrots & celery if you want to make 'gourmet' beans.

We decided to soak the lima beans ourselves, giving it that true homestyle flavour. The beans were soaked for 24 hours and then boiled and simmered for around 2 hours. We then added the tomato sauce to the beans and served them on sourdough bread - breakfast is served.
