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
i generally only like black beans. i eat them all the time.
the basics of black beans is black beans & cumin
from there you can branch out.
mexican would be adding stuff like chili powder, onion, rice, cayenne or tapatio, corn, avocado, cilantro, salsa, lime, tomatoes,
more italian could be olive oil, garlic, onion, oregano, mozzarella, parm, cherry tomatoes, basil
i've been doing buddha bowls since covid. i basically will take a shit lot of mixed salad (bulk bought in those giant bags or plastic boxes), throw into a popcorn bowl, add salad dressing, then add random shit like black beans, garbanzo beans, literally any type of vegetable, tofu, protein, rice or noodles, anything for a crunch: tortilla chips, crunchy onion, etc. you basically just add a ton of shit into a giant popcorn-sized bowl and put low cal dressing on it.
for lunch today i had salad mix, black beans, cabbage, carrots, red onion, crunched tortilla chips, brown rice, lime, and a yogurt based cilantro dressing
All of that variety will be a really helpful basis moving forward, thank you!
