Food and Drink -- Beans - the past due thread. - Page 11

Simply Red · 01:15 PM

Hi,

I'd like to know what beans you enjoy? How you make them? What side-items you include. Condiments atop their finished product.

Just go on and on for months about nothing but beans, here.

I love beans and they're super healthy, affordable and act as a virtual meat.

Anyone ever use ham base?

Anyhow - go on about your bean preferences!

Today I'm fixing Great Northerns and Pintos / Medley - Ham hock as well

actually PGM I AM a little gassy this morning.

We make a ham and bean soup whenever we have had a bone in ham. Throw the ham bone and leftover meat, some onion and a pound of soaked dried beans (I prefer black eyed peas) in the crock pot and let it cook on low all day.

Another bean heavy meal we make is a black bean and avocado enchilada. We make it more like a casserole, layering the shells and filling rather than rolling it up. We also add a little shredded cheese to the filling.

Another is red beans and rice. The recipe is vegan but we do add about a half pound of chopped andouille sausage for flavor. I also cheat and use the pressure cooker instead of cooking on the stove top for several hours.

Nice thanks for sharing.

One summer delight is cold bean salad that will typically have beans and veggies and a sweet vinegary sauce. Black beans and brown rice with some vegetables and salsa is a great meal if you're trying to lose weight. Chickpeas are great in so many things.

I really hesitate to introduce any negativity, but I really can't eat "baked beans". The Bush beans style from a can. I feel like many children grow up and develop an aversion to beans because their mom put that garbage on the table on a regular.

If given the option, you always chose bone-in.

Baked beans is a food group all on it's own. So good. So many recipes representing different geographical regions they could fill a thread by themselves.

I don't mean to doubt the family of recipes as a whole. I'm only referring to canned baked beans. Thanks.

I fully understand. Wasn't contradicting you. Your post made me think of baked beans is all.

I eat this 4 or 5 days a week, I call it 'dal' based on Indian curried pea dishes but it may not suit dal purists. Here's what I do - 1 lb of dried peas (picked over for pebbles, etc) I buy yellow split peas @ Hy-Vee because I like the appearance better but there's no diff. in taste if you use split green peas. Add 1 box (2 pouches) of dry onion soup mix - I use Aldi brand, it's cheap. Put this all in a crockpot, add about 8 cups boiling water/set the pot on hi & cover. First I add 1 TBL thyme, 1 tsp. cumin seed, 1 tsp. crushed red chile, 1 tsp garlic powder. 2 TBL olive oil. Crockpot on hi for 6 to 8 hours (or on 'medium' overnight) Now I add 1 can chopped green chile, 1 can 'ro-tel' tomatoes w/green chile, 1 can rinsed chickpeas or other canned beans, 1 can cooked spinach, 1 can chicken broth - 1/2 cup 'quick' barley. Stir well to blend and simmer for another 3 or 4 hours if you have time, or til hot enough to suit you if you're starving (give the barley time to cook).
I put 2 cup servings in glassware and carry to work, reheat and eat w/a shot of Rooster hotsauce. Lots of fiber, protein, flavor. Pretty cheap for the good you're getting.

I’ve made dal with lentils. I never think to make it, but I never regret when I do.

BigOlChiefsfan · 03-04-2018, 04:49 PM

I've lost about 20 lbs this year, eating this way has helped the diet.

I like the red beans and rice at Popeye’s. Also, a good crispy black bean burger is pretty good!

cooper barrett · 03-04-2018, 06:06 PM

I guess we should address "Hummus" It is Chick peas after all.

I finally tried hummus a few years ago and loved it. It's a great dip.
