Well, though winter officially starts next week, it has most certainly arrived in the GTA. Temperatures are below seasonal averages, snow is falling, and the wind chill is whipping. Such meteorological horrors calls for long lazy Sundays inside with movies and cozy hearty meals.
I spent this Sunday making my version of Donna Hay's Smokey Baked Beans, which is a misnomer because they're not baked at all, but slowly simmered on the stovetop. Not that it makes an ounce of difference.
I quickly browned a little bacon to up the smoke factor, then sauteed some onion and garlic, browned the halved (extra spicy) chorizo and deglazed with a little beef stock. Once reduced a little I added in fresh tomato sauce from the bf's mom, more beef stock, and the beans and let them go for about 20 minutes.
Topped with some fresh italian parsley and served with Kozlick's Italian mustard and Roasted Red Pepper and Onion Fougasse to sop up the sauce.
