Sweet beans on savory pound cake toast (I'M BRINGING SEXY BEANS E3) Recipe, makes up to 10 portions 1 lb (454g) dried beans (navy would be good, I used black-eyed-peas) 1 onion a cloves of garlic 200g room-temperature butter or shortening 1 teaspoon baking powder 60g sugar 340g flour 4 eggs 1 spoonful mayonnaise (not necessary) 1 orange corn starch fresh herbs (I used rosemary in the cake and dill in the beans) salt pepper oil other seasonings (I used garlic and onion powder and paprika) tomato paste ketchup Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce) molasses (optional) white wine (optional) If you have time, get your beans soaking in plain water, up to a day before dinner. Just an hour will help, though. Combine the room-temperature butter with the sugar and beat on high for several minutes until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, the mayonnaise (if you have it, followed by the flour, baking soda, 1-2 teaspoons of salt, zest of the orange and some finally chopped fresh herbs. It should feel like wet cookie dough when assembled. Put the batter in a greased or parchment-lined loaf pan and bake at 375 F/190 C until a skewer to the center comes out clean mine took less than an hour. Let cool completely. For the beans, peel and chop the onion and garlic. Cook in a little oil in a big pot until starting to go soft. If you soaked the beans, drain and discard the water. Put the beans in the pot and cover the beans by 2-3 cm with water (or half water, half white wine. Squeeze in some ketchup and tomato paste to start with (you'll add more at the end, add a glug of molasses if you have it and a glug of Worcestershire sauce (again, you'll add more to taste at the end. Bring the beans to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until the beans are tender, adding water as necessary to keep them just submerged mine took an hour, but some beans take longer. When the beans are tender, taste them, and add a lot more ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire and additional seasonings (like garlic/onion powder, pepper, paprika) to taste. Mix a spoonful of starch with just enough water to make a slurry. Pour a little slurry into the beans while stirring vigorously and bring to a simmer to thicken. Add slurry until you have the thick, glossy texture you desire. At the last minute, stir in the juice of the orange and some fresh herbs. You can always add more water if the beans thicken too much as they cool. Slice the cake and just toast the slices in the oven I used my broiler. Put a slice on a plate and serve lots of beans on top. The recipe probably gives you more beans than you'll need freeze them.

The cake looks great. I will try it!
One thing, quoted from Chef Jean Pierre: Garlic gets cooked in seconds. It does not need a head start and should never fried for long. When putting it in the pan, always be ready to add something wet, so the garlic flavours your food, not the air. Typacally you add the wet stuff the moment you can smell the garlic.
Since i'm doing this, i can actually taste the garlic i'm adding. Plus i dont have to worry burning it.

Adam don't u think adding wine and tomatoes to sauce prolongs the cooking process of beans? I, for example, am very paranoid about ph and when im making yours cuban style beans i add only 1/3 of vinegar at the beginning and rest of it after beans are cooked, is my paranoia justified or the cooking liqid to acid Components ratio is just too big so that it doesnt really matter?

OMG that toasted cake looks like how I remember Bara Brith. Which for those people not from Wales (UK) is basically a tea flavored cake. Which as a child I remember having toasted with butter on, but every time I've made or bought it recently has been way to moist to properly toast.

You have somehow made the laughing stock of British cuisine appetizing. I'm sitting here hungry for Beans on Toast! Also, so curious why beans cook slower in an acid (maybe a podcast type thing. I think a Chick-Fil-A cup in the background would have been both hilarious and deadly

Beans on Toast is underrated. It looks cheap and disgusting, (two things that don t really go together, ) but it s actually quite filling and good. This meal looks different and also kind of interesting. Savory pound cake would probably make it taste way different. I am intrigued.

British Ragusea fan here. No hate, but, that ain't baked beans, it's not even elevated baked beans in the similar-to-Heinz sense. That's just straight-up something unrecognisably different. It's like calling a Chickpea Dahl spiced baked beans.

I rarely eat meat but watch all your videos Adam! I greatly appreciate you elevating beans. They are an incredible food. Would love to see your take on sweet red bean paste pastries like the ones they make in Asia that absolutely blow my tiny little mind!

im not usually commenting on sponsor choice, but i feel like you missed the mark here. You may have vetted them thouroghly but as a long time fan of your cooking videos i really cant see why some face mask magic has a sponsor spot in you recipe.

As much as I dunk on beans on toast I've always viewed it as the brit equivalent of biscuits and sausage gravy. Breakfast bread with a sauce. Classics in the home on one side of the pond, and jokes for the other. Cultural exchange

I just throw the beans in the slow cooker with stuff and wander off for the day. Kielbasa, tomatoes and marjoram work great. I sometimes put the dry beans in water, bring to a boil and let soak for an hour, it really speeds it up.
reply

Beans blended with water can be used to replace all wwt ingredients in Brownies and they create extremely moist brownies with no bean taste.
Might be a technique Adam would be interested in trying for other applications

Oh man I died a bit when you didn't butter the toasted pound cake absolute necessity if I ever have beans on toast. The creaminess from the butter cuts through all that sweet bean juice. Will be trying this!
reply

A savory pound cake? Is that similar to cornbread? I know I can skip it but would a bit of oil work in place of the mayo since there's already eggs in it? I don't really care for mayo so I don't have any.
reply

I originally thought from the thumbnail that the toast would be toasted cornbread, and I'm kind of curious to try that now. Beans and cornbread are two classic BBQ side dishes after all
