I'm looking at growing more of my own food. It's slow progress but I think I can start up some small indoor potato and tomato patches in the next few weeks as practice. That's well and good; they both have plenty of uses. But I really wouldn't know what to do with any beans I may end up growing. When I think of beans I either think baked (American style, i.e., disgusting and filled with corn syrup) or refried (delicious but greasy and cause for farts).
What's a good bean recipe you like? I have no dietary restrictions. Thank you in advance <3
:bean
They don't play well with the traditional western meat, carbohydrate, veggies plate but whenver you make anything that ends up in one pot anyways (barring thin soups)? Just chuck some beans into there. They pair with pretty much everything, provide some nutritional, low cost-filler and some depth.
That's a brilliantly simple idea, thank you!
Personal favorite is parboiled pasta that you finish in the sauce so it soaks shit up real good and then add pre-cooked beans at the end to just heat them up. Pasta and Beans honestly pair incredibly well.
I'll put a can of black or kidney beans into a food processor and pulse to a paste for tomato soup.
For a tomato soup that seems more just like a bowl of pureed beans. Unless there's more ingredients (of course I would love to know and make it)
That's for a large pot of soup that usually lasts me most of the week. I also pulse some celery, carrots, maybe mushrooms and saute all of that in olive oil for about 20 minutes before adding two large cans of tomato paste and one of minced tomatoes, and a half cup of sugar, add seasoning to taste and then cook for another 30 minutes.
Try white beans with a shitload of garlic, some onion, loads of parsley. Adjust viscosity via the aquafaba.
Such a great dressing for a load of salads
