Ingredients
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 medium onion, diced
12-ounces smoked Virginia ham, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
2 cloves garlic, minced
Two 15-ounce cans navy beans (preferably low-sodium), drained and rinsed
One 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes (preferably low-sodium)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ham and garlic and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Stir in the beans, crushed tomatoes, water, molasses, mustard, vinegar, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until about half of the liquid is absorbed, 15 minutes.
