Instructions

Peel the garlic and slice it thinly. Drain the beans in a colander, rinse thoroughly, and let them drain. Heat the oil in a pan and briefly sauté the garlic.

As soon as the garlic starts to sizzle, add the tomato paste and syrup and sauté for about a minute.

Deglaze the pan with strained tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce, stir well and add the beans.

Gently simmer the beans in the sauce for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season the baked beans with salt and pepper and serve with your choice of side dishes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bean Soak Shortcut 💦
If using canned cannellini beans, rinse thoroughly to remove excess sodium and improve overall flavor profile.
Umami Depth Trick 🧄
Crush garlic and let it sit for 10 minutes before cooking to maximize its enzymatic flavor development and health benefits.
Sauce Consistency Magic 🥄
If the sauce is too thin, simmer uncovered for an extra 5 minutes to naturally reduce and thicken the tomato base.
Flavor Layering Technique 🌶️
Toast tomato paste in the pan for 30-60 seconds before adding other liquids to caramelize and intensify its rich tomato flavor.
Sweetness Balance Pro 🍯
Add agave syrup gradually and taste as you go to achieve the perfect sweet-savory balance without overwhelming the dish.
