How to elevate simple baked beans with rich pork belly and bacon
In short: When standard baked beans fail to satisfy, this recipe uses pork belly and thick-cut bacon to create a much more substantial meal. This video demonstrates how to transform basic ingredients into a hearty, slow-cooked dish using a cast iron braiser.
This recipe builds complex flavors by browning 500g of pork belly and 3 to 5 slices of thick-cut bacon in a heavy pan. The process involves layering sweetness and heat through the addition of molasses, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes.
To achieve the desired texture, the beans are simmered uncovered in chicken stock and aromatics like garlic, onion, and carrot for two to three hours. This slow-cooking method ensures the flavors are deeply integrated.
