Ingredients
1 ½ cups dry navy beans, rinsed
½ cup molasses (light or dark)
3 cups vegetable broth
2 cups diced onion
3 cloves minced garlic
1 tbsp smoked paprika
Instructions
Rinse navy beans thoroughly in cold water, discarding any damaged or shriveled pieces.
Soak beans overnight in a large bowl of water. Or boil for 1 hour, changing water twice, to reduce cooking time.
In a large pot, combine soaked beans, molasses, vegetable broth, diced onion, garlic, and smoked paprika.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-3 hours until beans are tender and sauce thickens.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and adjust seasoning as needed.
Notes
Use Great Northern or Cannellini beans for texture variation. Substitute maple syrup or brown sugar dissolved in 1 tbsp water for molasses. Add 2 tbsp tomato paste for tanginess. Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 5 days.
