Molasses and chipotle add deep layers of flavour to these easy-peasy vegetarian baked beans.
1 tsp canola oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fancy molasses
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp chipotle chili pepper powder
2 540-mL cans navy beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup water
HEAT a medium saucepan over medium. Add oil, then onion. Cook until onion is soft, about 4 min. Stir in molasses, maple syrup, tomato paste, Dijon, salt and chipotle pepper powder. Add beans and water. Boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, until beans are brown and sauce is thickened, 25 to 30 min.
