Honolulu Skillet Beans
This is based on a recipe in the moosewood 'cooks at home' cookbook which i absolutely adore. Use a variety of beans for a colourful effect. I have used blackeyed peas which worked really well.
Steps
Saute the onions in a skillet or saucepan until soft and beginning to brown.
In the meantime , drain the beans in a colander and rinse them under running water.
In a small bowl , mix the molasses , vinegar and tabasco , mustard , tomato paste , sesame oil , cumin , orange peel and pineapple.
When theonions are soft , add the beans and the sauce.
Stir gently to distribute the sauce.
Bring to a gentle simmer at a low heat.
Remove the beans from the heat and serve immediately.
