👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Place the soaked and drained navy beans in a large pot. Cover with 6 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, or until beans are tender but not mushy.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Discard any beans that float, as they may be old or damaged. - 2
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together molasses, maple syrup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 4
Drain the cooked beans, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Transfer the beans to a bean pot or a Dutch oven.

Add the diced salt pork or bacon and chopped onion to the beans. Pour the molasses mixture over the beans.

Add enough reserved bean cooking liquid (or water if needed) to just cover the beans. Stir gently to combine.

Cover the pot and bake in the preheated oven for 4 to 6 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beans are very tender and the sauce has thickened.
⏱️ 4-6 hours💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Check periodically and add a little more liquid if the beans seem dry. - 8
Remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of baking to allow the top to caramelize slightly. Serve hot.
