Ingredients
- 1. 1 lb of dried navy beans
- 2. 1 quart of fresh water
- 3. A 4-inch segment of dashi kombu (dried kelp)
- 4. 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 5. 2 tsp of white vinegar
- 6. ½ cup of dry mustard
- 7. ½ cup of tangy ketchup
- 8. ¼ cup of rich molasses
- 9. 1 tbsp of brown sugar
- 10. A pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 11. 1 cup of piping hot water, or more if necessary
- 12. 1 tbsp of liquid smoke flavoring, to your preference
Step 1
Start by combining beans in a spacious bowl, ensuring they are covered with water by about an inch, and let them soak overnight for optimal tenderness. The following day, drain the beans and transfer them to a pot with a fresh quart of water and a piece of kombu. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, cover the pot, and let it simmer for roughly 30 minutes before draining the beans.
Step 2
Next, take an onion and blend it into a smooth puree using a food processor. Spread this savory puree at the base of your slow cooker insert. Add the drained beans to the slow cooker and pour in enough fresh water to submerge them comfortably.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, create a flavorful mix by combining vinegar, dry mustard, ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, and black pepper. Stir this delectable concoction into the slow cooker, making sure everything is well incorporated. To ensure the flavors meld perfectly, cover the top of the slow cooker with aluminum foil before placing the lid on top.
Step 4
Set the slow cooker to Low and let it work its magic for 4 hours. Remember to check on the beans every hour or so to maintain the water level, adding hot water if necessary. Once the 4-hour mark hits, scoop out a cup of beans, mash them, and reintroduce them to the slow cooker. Allow the beans to continue cooking for an additional 6 hours to reach that ultimate level of tenderness and flavor infusion.
Step 5
Just before serving, stir in a touch of liquid smoke to elevate the dish with a smoky essence that will surely tantalize your taste buds.
