4. Once the beans are soaked well, our next step is to cook them.
5. I like using the pressure cooker method to cook the beans.
6. Place the beans in the pressure, place the weight on, cover the pan and cook it along with 2-1/2 cups of water.

10. The beans continue to cook under the pressure even when it is turned off.
11. Once the pressure is released, open the cooker and drain out the excess liquids.
12. You store this liquid and use it in the vegetable stock or risotto.
13. Once the beans are cooked, our next step is to spice it up to make the baked beans.
14. Heat oil in a sauce pan on medium heat; add in the onions and garlic and give it a light sauté until the onions are tender.
15. Add the tomatoes, honey and the spices and give it a stir.
16. Add in the cooked drained beans into the tomato gravy.
17. Stir fry the beans until the beans get well coated with the tomatoes.
18. Cover the pan, turn the heat to low and simmer the beans for about 30 minutes until you noticed the beans are well coated with the spices and tomatoes.
19. Check the salt and seasoning levels and adjust to suit your taste.
