Baked beans, AKA the most versatile comfort food ever, just got a whole lot cooler. The best part is you can be useless and hungover from the night before and still bash this out in 10 minutes with minimal effort. All you need is some brown sugar, barbecue sauce, barbecue seasoning, any random beans you like (eg pinto/kidney/chickpeas/black beans), and any meat that takes your fancy (chicken and pulled pork is a good shout).
We’ve signed up Richard Coates, co-founder of London’s best barbecue joint Bodean’s, to school us in the art of manly cooking. He’ll be covering everything including culinary hacks like making your own pulled pork, full-blown meal inspiration like searing a steak to perfection, and essential kitchen skills like this 60-second masterclass in baked bean badness.
