British-ish No-Bake Beans
Serves 8
Ingredients
1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 bay leaf
1 tsp smoke paprika
½ tsp ground coriander
1/8 tsp nutmeg
2 cups diced butternut squash
1 cup no-salt-added tomato puree
2 15 oz cans no-salt- cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp whole-grain mustard
1 Tbsp maple syrup or brown sugar
½ tsp kosher salt
Directions
- In a large, heavy pot or pan over medium heat, heat the oil until shimmering. Sauté the onion until lightly browned, 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, bay leaf, paprika, coriander, and nutmeg. Cook, stirring constantly, until the tomato paste colors the oil, about 1 minute.
- Add the squash, tomato puree, beans and 1 1/4cups water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the sauce is glossy and the squash and beans are tender, 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, maple syrup and salt. Serve warm or cold.
