We are still shocked by the number of people who like to cook who have not heard of the book The Thrill of the Grill by Chris Schlesinger & John Willoughby. It is perhaps one of the best grill books ever. With Father’s Day approaching, it is a perfect “guy gift”, with much inspiration for that special man.
Although not a meaty dish, this recipe was inspired by this book and adapted in our home kitchens to a simpler version. Our families love baked beans, especially these. We believe using dried beans is a must. If you forget to soak them in advance, no worries – just simmer them for a couple of hours in salted water until tender. They do not take that long to cook and can be left unattended.
