Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup navy beans
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar and or coconut sugar
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons molasses
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable broth

Instructions

  • Rinse and sort beans; soak according to package directions.
  • Drain and rinse beans, discarding liquid. Place in a pot over medium heat, then add beans and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer until beans are tender, for about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Once most of the water is evaporated, reduce the flame to low heat.
  • Add vegetable broth, onion, garlic, cane sugar, ketchup, and salt to the beans.
  • Simmer on low heat for another 15 minutes, or until all the beans are soft.
  • Taste and adjust ingredients as required, using more salt for overall taste, cane sugar for sweetness, or molasses for increasing the flavor. Cover the pot with a lid and let cool slightly.
