Slow Cooked Baked Beans

When I came across this recipe from the NY Times, I was immediately intrigued. Beans, kale, tomato sauce slow cooked in an oven for a couple of hours? SWOON. The recipe is extremely easy and adaptable. I did not have the bouquet garni or the herbes de provence and winged it with what we had in the pantry. I thought that a grating of pecorino would also go well with the breadcrumbs as a topping and the salty flavor of the cheese melded deliciously with the sweetness of the beans. I also note that I bought the tomato paste and celery with leftover money from last week that we did not document. We came in under budget, but I forgot to mention we bought some onions, tomato paste, celery, red cabbage and small cucumbers for about $9.
That sounds so good! I love baked beans, and kale! I have lots of both… hmmm. Yum!
How was it? And how much dd it make? I’ve got this on my list of dinners for next week, and am excited to try it!
It was delicious and I believe the recipe made about 6 servings.
That looks fantastic. I wonder if my not-quite-a-fan-of-kale husband would like it? I guess I’ll just have to try and find out!
