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

    I really like a black bean 'salad', also sometimes called 'cowboy caviar'

    Here's one recipe: https://www.spendwithpennies.com/cowboy-caviar/

    But like a lot of salads, you can kinda do whatever. Definitely recommend a fresh lime dressing of some kind though.

    Also, hummus is always good, and I like a similar thing made with white beans and harissa as the base instead of chickpeas and tahini.

        Absolutely works as a snak, but TBH, I regularly have both as the main dish, alongside fresh homemade chips or naan, and a side of some kind. But, I do just think the salad is delicious, and am happy to dive into a full plate of it, so YMMV
