These are nothing like the Heinz baked beans you may be used to (which could be a good or bad thing depending on your preferences!). I've taken inspiration from my roots in the U.S.A., where baked beans are typically made with bacon and molasses for a smokey sweet luxurious effect. I left out the bacon and replaced it with kombu, a nutritious seaweed that tenderises the beans and adds extra umami to the sauce. I also dialled back the molasses and omitted any added sugar to keep these on the savoury side. Serve with eggs, toast, potatoes, or other favourite baked bean add-ons (I personally love a few spicy Mexican pickles).
