Vegan Baked Beans image

Shiitake mushrooms are the secret ingredient in these vegan baked beans--even meat lovers won't miss the bacon! The best part is the beans require no soaking, just a slow cook in the oven until tender, sweet and spicy.

Time 4h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms (about 1 heaping cup)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced (about 2 cups)
1 red bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon hot smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 cup tomato puree
1/4 cup bourbon
1/4 cup vegan molasses
2 tablespoons packed vegan light brown sugar
1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound dried navy beans, picked through
8 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Place the dried mushrooms in a medium bowl and cover with 2 cups boiling water, make sure each mushroom is submerged. Let steep for 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer, reserving the liquid. Roughly chop the steeped mushrooms and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions, bell peppers and chopped mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika and cayenne and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the tomato puree, bourbon, molasses, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, bring to a simmer and cook to combine, about 3 minutes. Add the beans, vegetable broth and reserved mushroom liquid. Raise the heat to high, bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Cover the pot, transfer to the oven and bake until the beans are tender, about 3 hours.
  • Uncover and increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake until the sauce thickens and the beans on top begin to brown, about 30 minutes.

BAKES BEANS - "BRILLIANT" - VEGAN



Bakes Beans -

Adapted from How it all Vegan. This is really easy to throw together, provided you have the beans ready to go (or use canned). Even if you have to boil some up, dry navy beans and soy beans are pretty quick if you've soaked them for 6 hours or so. This is a less sweet version of baked beans with only a little molasses, more tomato-ey. It's satisfying and simple. If accompanied by a salad and some hearty bread it would probably be enough for 4 people. For larger portions though, I'd say more like 2 or 3, with some leftovers. The original recipe only called for 1 1/2 cups broth, I adjusted to 2 1/2, found it was too dry otherwise, but then I really like sauce so you may choose to cut that back down. I also added 1 tbsp of brown sugar, found it was just lacking a little something without it. The last adjustment was to the cooking time - originally calling for 40 mins at 350, that wasn't near enough time to even cook the onions, so I upped to 375 for an hour. (Note, prep/Cook time does not include soaking or boiling of the beans).
