… Smoky Baked Beans & Collard Greens
It’s felt a bit weird. I haven’t cooked a 15 Minute Meal for two days. This wasn’t really intended. Well it was on Wednesday but not on Thursday. For no particular reason I had chips and spent my evening doing ironing rather than cooking for people. Which was a really very boring thing to do.
My Brother is here tonight and he had expressed an interest in having this one cooked for him and so I am. There are an awful lot of ingredients tonight. This must be one of the longest lists. There feels like a lot to do. There is quite a lot to slice up. Unusually you do not get to use the food processor. It does take quite a while to slice the carrot, radishes and spring onions. Once this is done I do feel like i’m a little behind in getting the beans on. It really is solid cooking until the steaks are on and then it is much more relaxed and just waiting for things to cook. In the end I am a little over and I can’t help thinking that I if I had been allowed to use the slicer attachment on the food processor I would have done it. I also thik that the beans could have done with just a bit longer on the hob and in the oven – they tasted great, but were’t as gnarly as in the picture in the book. Oh and I forgot to put the cheese on the beans before I put them in the oven and so it was added at the end.
This was a nice mean with lovely flavours. You can make the meal as hot as you like by adding more English mustard.
