jackie,
I haven't made this recipe yet, but whenever I soak beans, I add an extra 2 inches of water on top of them. I've never seen anyone only cover them to the top, but I just figured with the long cook time, this recipe didn't need the "proper" soaking method.

OOPS! Wanted to tell "deeley" that he/she can purchase tomato paste in a tube to avoid the dreaded "partial can waste". Anchovy, onion, garlic, & pesto come packaged this way as well.

Grilling: Barbecue Beans

After reading this blog, it looks like there are maybe only 4 people who actually made these beans.............
So being the avid [as well as] old cook that I am, I have one question for all about these beans that NEVER SOFTENED!!!!!!!!
I followed the recipe to the letter with: "plastic container overnight in just enough cold water to submerge them completely". Was that actually correct? I baked them for 8 hr & they NEVER softened.
Was this recipe in error, or am I?

Made this this weekend - used a six ounce can of tomato paste (can't stand having to use 2/3 of a can) and used water instead of vegetable stock. Fantastic result - eaten in its entirety by the family. A winner of a recipe.

I made this recipe yesterday. Instead of using the water used to soak the beans, I used 2 cups beef bouillon, 1 cup water and 1/4 cup rum. Beans turned-out great. Actually, just the beans can be a meal.
