Baked Beans with Ham Sauce
Recipe by Michael Weldon
Serves - 4
Prep Time - 10 mins
Cook Time - 20-25 mins
Ingredients
1 onion, diced
2 celery sticks, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 garlic cloves, diced
1 tbsp fennel seeds
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp Coles cumin
1 tbsp Coles coriander powder
1 tbsp Coles garlic powder
250g ham, diced
½ cup Coles BBQ sauce
1 L bottle tomato passata
2 cans white beans
2 cans chickpeas
Sea salt
Pinch of Coles black pepper
Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil
Method
In a large saucepan, fry off the onion, carrot, and celery in olive oil until they begin to soften. Add in the garlic, fennel seeds, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander powder, and garlic powder. Toast them off for a minute or so, then add in the diced ham and cook for a further minute.
Add in the BBQ sauce and tomato passata, along with half a jar of water. Bring the mixture to a boil and then add in the white beans and chickpeas. Cook until the sauce thickens and the beans absorb the flavours.
Season the beans to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve the baked beans with ham sauce in the same way you would serve canned baked beans. Enjoy on toast, with a poached egg, or in a toasted sandwich.
