Mummy’s Fast & Easy

Happy Friday folks!
It was my first time making Boston Beans the other day and I must say, even though I cook more meat-free:), I absolutely loved these meaty beans.
To be honest, I’ve never heard of Boston beans before but thanks to one of my culinary books, I discovered them.
In general, I cook a lot of beans – soups, salads, stews or currys but this time I wanted to make them a bit different.
I didn’t follow the recipe precisely(in fact, I never do and sometimes I admit, I regret it) but the beans turned out so tasty. I skipped the mustard as I didn’t have any but next time I would definitely add it.
So I’m sharing this amazing comfort food recipe for all of you meat lovers!:)

Here’s what you need.

  1. In a pot, cover the beans with water and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 30-40 minutes until they soften.

  3. Cook for about 5 minutes and then add the beans, tomatoes and Worcester sauce. Season with salt, thyme and bay leaves and leave for another 5 minutes.
