In other news, lifelong happiness can be found by doing the following:
Get a smoked ham hock from Rare Butchers in Southville and poach it for about five hours with some carrot, onion, celery, bay and peppercorns. Reserve the liquor.
Then vigourously boil some pre-soaked haricot beans for 15 mins in plain water, then drain.
Shred the ham, skin and all and bung it in a casserole dish with the beans and:
chopped onion
tin of tomatoes
some mustard powder
large dollop of ketchup
dark brown sugar
loads of black pepper
a few allspice berries
Then top up with the smoky ham stock and oven cook at gas mark 1 for as long as possible (I did 7 hours). Take the lid off half way through.
Eat an unctious bowl of pure ambrosia by a fire with a bottle of smoked porter.
Fart like a cowboy.
Man food.

Re: Baked Beans
Sounds Great, I must try this soon!
Although I'd want to put some tasty Chillies in there as part replacement for the black pepper.
What Smoked porter did you have with it, your own?

Re: Baked Beans
Yeah, one of the recipes I was working off said to put chilli flakes in but I forgot. I would give them a go next time, but to really maximise smokiness a chipotle would be the apotheosis.
The smoked porter was my own (a re-brew).
