Baked Beans with Flamingo & Yellow Peas

Home   Recipes for Pulses, Grains, Seeds, Flakes, Flour, Ferments...   Baked Beans with Flamingo & Yellow Peas
2023 Top Ten British Dried Peas Flamingo Peas Lunch Peas School Meals Supper Yellow Peas

September 14, 2023

Chef James Taylor is on a mission to get pulses into school meals, using Hodmedod's beans, peas, lentils and chickpeas all this term as part of special Pulses Days in primary schools. Here's his recipe for baked "beans" made with pink and yellow peas from British farms instead of the usual navy beans (mostly from the US and Canada).

Pulses are unfamiliar to many children so James recommends introducing new ingredients in otherwise familiar and popular dishes. Baked beans are a great example of this and by making them from scratch James makes this British favourite healthier and tastier.

In schools where budgets are tight and nutrition is of the utmost importance, pulses are a logical option. We'll share more of James' school dinner recipes over the coming weeks.

Serves around 150 children and 20 adults (fills 2 Gastronorm trays, 530 x 325 X 100mm)

Ingredients

For the Pulses
  • 2kg Dried Flamingo Peas
  • 2kg Dried Yellow Peas
For the Sauce
  • 3 Large Onions
  • 3 Large Garlic Bulbs
  • 2.5kg x 2 Tins Chopped Tomatoes
  • 800g Tin Tomato Puree
  • 1lt Water
  • 5 tbsp Smoked Paprika
  • 5 tbsp Sea Salt
  • 2 tbsp Black Pepper

Method

For the Pulses
  1. Soak the peas overnight in cold water
  2. The next morning, drain the peas and put in a pot covered with water
  3. Season the water with salt (I also added a few garlic cloves and a few bay leaves to my pot).
  4. Bring the water to the boil, then turn down to a simmer.
  5. Cook until the peas are soft (around 45 minutes)
For the Sauce
  1. Warm a little olive or rapeseed oil in a big pot and gently cook the onions & garlic until very soft
  2. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, honey, water, sea salt, black pepper and smoked paprika. Leave to simmer for around an hour to allow the flavours to combine and the sauce to thicken up.
  3. Next add the cooked flamingo peas & yellow peas and leave covered for another 30-45 minutes until the sauce is the desired thickness and the pulses are very soft.
