Ingredients
Scale
- 150g bacon
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 2 x 400g cans beans (cannellini, kidney or any really)
- ¾ cup tomato passata
- ¾ cup tomato sauce (ketchup)
- ¼ cup golden syrup
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- ¾ cup water
- 1 tablespoon seeded mustard
- 1½ teaspoons tamari or Worcestershire sauce
- salt & pepper
Instructions
Cook bacon in a hot fry pan until crispy, drain on paper towel and slice into small pieces.
Use the fat in the pan to cook the onion until golden.
Combine all ingredients in a large pan with a lid and either simmer gently on low for 1 hour or in the oven at 160°C for 1 hour.
Stir occasionally so it doesn’t stick to the bottom. If at the end the sauce is still a bit runny, cook a further 5-10 minutes with the lid off to thicken.
Notes
You can use whatever beans you have for this, if they are dried beans you will need to precook them first.
Golden syrup can be replaced with maple syrup.
