Homemade Baked Beans

Barbecue season is upon us, and many of us are hoping to enjoy some socially distant outdoor time with friends and family. So I wanted to share the perfect recipe to bring along to a barbecue: homemade baked beans!

This recipe takes about an hour and a half to make but can be made ahead of time. The beans can be served warm or at room temperature.

Ingredients (makes 10 servings):

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 pound bacon, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped (I used a yellow pepper)
  • 2 (15 oz) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 (15 oz) cans red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/2 tablespoon hot sauce (I used Tobasco Chipotle)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons stone ground mustard (or any mustard you prefer)
  • 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper

Pomegranate Mustard Roasted Brussels Sprouts

I absolutely love roasted vegetables, and Roasted Brussels Sprouts are a favorite of mine. Something magical happens in the oven!

I’ve had a hankering for Brussels sprouts for a while now, but was in the mood for a vegetarian version (a.k.a. not cooked in bacon).

This recipe for Pomegranate Mustard Roasted Brussels Sprouts balances the heat from stone ground mustard with tangy pomegranate molasses, a syrup made from cooked down pomegranate juice. Typically used in Middle Eastern recipes, pomegranate molasses can be found in most supermarkets today. Or, you can make your own at home; I have a recipe for it here. You could also substitute in honey, but use half as much; pomegranate molasses isn’t very sweet. To make a paleo-friendly version, look for unsweetened pomegranate molasses, or omit the sugar all together when making it at home.

The roasted Brussels sprouts are then topped with toasted walnuts and fresh pomegranate seeds to finish it off. Yum!

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds Brussels sprouts
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
  • 2 tablespoons stoneground mustard
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (or olive oil to make vegan/dairy free)
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds

Pistachio Crusted Salmon with Roasted Mustard Potatoes

If I was forced to eat one food for the rest of my life, I wouldn’t be terribly upset if it was salmon. That probably isn’t much of a surprise to those that follow this blog, I have almost 40 Salmon Recipes on here! So, I might as well add another one to the list, this recipe for Pistachio Crusted Salmon with Roasted Mustard Potatoes!

For whatever reason, I had a hankering for pistachios recently, so I figured I might as well crust my favorite protein in a pistachio-panko mixture, how bad could it be? Not bad. Not bad at all. In fact, delicious!

I made this salmon with some baby potatoes roasted in a stone ground mustard, so I added the mustard to the salmon as well to keep the flavors consistent. Since I whipped this up the first time, I’ve already made it twice more!

Ingredients:

For the potatoes:

  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes (I used a baby potato “medley”), halved
  • cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons stone ground mustard
  • salt and pepper, to taste

For the salmon:

  • 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons stone ground mustard, divided
  • 1/4 cup pistachios, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • cooking spray
