Twyla’s Bourbon Bayo Beans
Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 red onion chopped
- ¼ cup bourbon
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 bell pepper chopped
- 1 cup heirloom tomatoes blended
- 3 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
- 2 tablespoons Chili Smith Sweet and Spicy Vinegar
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 3 tablespoons spicy prepared mustard
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 4 cups cooked Chili Smith speckled bayo beans
Instructions
- Sauté the onion in a preheated pan. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally until onion is soft. Add bell pepper and cook for about 3 minutes. Add water, if necessary, to prevent sticking. Add garlic and cook another minute.
- Remove from heat and slowly add bourbon. Be sure pan is not so hot that the bourbon sizzles.
- Return pan to the burner and raise heat to medium to bring to a simmer. Allow to cook until most of the liquid has cooked off, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- To an Instant Pot, add molasses, vinegar, blended tomatoes, coconut aminos, and mustard. Stir in maple syrup. Add bean-and-onion mixture. Stir a few times to mix everything. Slow cook for at least 1 hour.
