Which are the healthiest beans?
:bean: :cool-bean: :chickpea:
I really like Kidney beans, Great Northern beans, and Black Eyed Peas
I usually cook with Great Northern Beans or Dark Red Kidney beans
Refried beans, or Refritos in Spanish are beans (usually Pinto or Black beans) cooked with some kind of oil (usually an animal fat such as lard, I personally use refined coconut oil) and spices.
My favorite bean recipe is super easy, its a White Bean and Kale soup. I start with a basic mirepoix (carrot, onion, celery, garlic - sautee carrots and celery until fragrant, add onion and sautee until translucent, add garlic and sautee until fragrant, add salt and pepper), deglaze with white wine (flambe it if I'm feeling fancy, but its totally just for show), add Great Northern and Cannelloni beans, a big spoon full of white miso paste, and a gallon of your favorite vegetable broth. Simmer until those flavors have time to get to know each other, like 2 hours or so, then add a bunch of roughly chopped kale (the heartier the better) with the thick main stem removed. Simmer until kale is wilted, salt and pepper to taste and serve.
They're all pretty great, and variety is the spice of life so try to incorporate a bunch of different ones!
