Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Rinse the dried pink beans and lentils thoroughly under cold water.
-
Saute Onions: In a large cast iron pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and saute until they turn golden brown, releasing their sweet aroma, which will take around 5-7 minutes.
-
Add Aromatic Flavors: Stir in minced garlic cloves and chopped jalapenos, allowing them to cook for a couple more minutes until fragrant.
-
Create Flavor Base: Incorporate ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce into the pot, stirring well to combine. This mixture will form the flavorful base of your beans.
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the rinsed pink beans, lentils, rum, molasses, and barbecue sauce to the pot, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly mixed together.
-
Adjust Consistency: Pour in enough water to cover the beans and create a slightly liquid consistency. This will allow the beans to cook evenly and absorb the delicious flavors.
-
Cook in the Oven: Preheat your oven to the desired temperature (typically around 350°F or 175°C). Once heated, transfer the pot with the bean mixture into the oven and cook until the beans are tender and flavorful, which usually takes about 2 hours.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked to perfection, remove the pot from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve your Hot Rod’s Buckin’ Beans hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired. These beans pair wonderfully with cornbread or rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
