-- Beans - the past due thread.

[Simply Red]

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 :)

They're essential to certain things like chili, but yeah I'm not the biggest fan of beans themselves

Like, when I go to a Mexican restaurant, I'll have a few good bites of the refries but theres always plenty of them left, yet the rest of the plate is clean

Not sure if they have one near you - but those honey-baked stores often have a deli inside - where you can get a lovely croissant w/ lettuce, tomato and swiss - w/ their own ham (of course) - it's good and their sauces are top shelf! But the retail locations are spotty throughout the USA. :/

I like Italian soups so Cannellini beans both dry and canned are always handy.

I made veggie chili using a bean mix from Bob's Red Mill and after leftovers are frozen they make a great topping for rice or pasta.

Vegetable bouillon
Bay leaves

Throw it all into the Instant Pot with a little bit of oil. An hour later they're good to go. Serve with cornbread and honey.

It's the weirdest thing. It's built solid. The exterior is stainless steel, and the crock is thick and heavy. But the handles and the power knob were made out of the cheapest plastic you ever saw. Barely one step above the packaging you have to cut from around everything you buy. I still have the pieces in a little box somewhere, but never felt the urge to glue them back together.

Peas are ubiquitous in any good Chinese style fried rice

They're awesome cold in a 7 layer salad

Peas with onion rock, the sweet and savory together works perfectly

If I'm making poverty Hamburger Helper of any kind, peas ARE going in that shit, particularly stroganoff

Or you can just have them on the side with just about any damn thing, my freezer is NEVER without a bag of frozen peas... and thats all I have to say about that!

Pretty much, maybe leaning toward Thai. I don't know if it has an official name. I just took some of the things I liked from Indian dishes and slapped them together and like it.

The curry provides the flavor, and the chew of the paneer mixes well with how chickpeas don't turn to mush even when cooked for a long time [kind of the same texture as boiled peanuts].

Those 'Indian Fair' pouches at Trader Joes are pretty solid as well. Don't know how well known they are because they barely take up any shelf space.

$2 for a pouch. Shelf stable. Makes two helpings when paired with rice.

The Punjab Choley is when I first got interested in Chickpeas over rice with spices.

Hint - They show which pouches are spicy and which are mild by putting a chili on top of the dish [like the red and green ones on the first box].

We're a 'stock up' type of family. Find a deal on durable goods and buy out the store.

Grocery stores are for milk and eggs. Farmer's market for fruits and veggies. Everything else comes from the pantry or the deep freeze.

Moms thinks the vacuum sealer was invented specifically for her, . . . so she can but half a cow, or a wheel of cheese, or a 55-gallon drum of lasagna, for $.50 a pound and chop it up into meal-sized pieces and pack it away in the chest freezer.

Look at their basement and you'd swear she and Pops were preppers.

Since trying to reduce my daily caloric intake a year and half ago, but in an effort to get proper daily amounts of fiber, I have started cooking black beans on a daily basis.

Soak in water in the fridge, after 24 hours of soaking, simmer on the stove for 4 to 6 hours seasoned with garlic, crushed red pepper and Mrs. Dash.

On days we don't have black beans, we have lentils.

Since trying to reduce my daily caloric intake a year and half ago, but in an effort to get proper daily amounts of fiber, I have started cooking black beans on a daily basis.

Soak in water in the fridge, after 24 hours of soaking, simmer on the stove for 4 to 6 hours seasoned with garlic, crushed red pepper and Mrs. Dash.

On days we don't have black beans, we have lentils.

Thanks Ed, gosh I'm proud of you for you changes but, really; branch out and fully explore the others, all those dry packages of a variety of beans are great too. I totally recommend - better than bouillon ham base for your sodium vs. salt. Also you really can't use too many onions IMO
any species is fine including red/purple O's.

Jist is not a proper word in and of itself, but it can be a creative way to spell just if you are attempting to convey a specific pronunciation of that word. If you can't decide whether to use jist vs. gist, remember that gist is a good word for a summary or main point, and jist is just wrong.

Great point, we do on occasion have Navy beans, Pinto beans and I agree on the onion. The newness is wearing off of the black beans, so I will probably start alternating more often.
I froze a bunch of Jalapeno and chilli peppers last fall from our garden and I add as many of those as the Mrs. can tolerate.

I don't salt anything, and last time I checked bullion, I think it was pretty much straight sodium.

Sodium is being shoved down our throats, almost unavoidable, but I don't want to jump on my sodium band box and hijack your thread.

[HemiEd]

Oh, I forgot bout Lima beans. One of the few I don't like.
The Mrs. loves them and mixes them with corn and milk. I believe she calls it suckotash or something like that. I don't go out of my way to cook them very often.

You might try the baby frozen ones, they don't taste like wet cardboard like the canned ones.

This thread has been a wonderful journey. Thank you. I love legumes.

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.

Overall I'm pretty meh on beans. There are some dishes that are great, though.

I'm OK with pinto and black refried beans. I do enjoy red beans and rice in moderation. I love beans in chili. BBQ beans are good.

But pass on typically bean soups, baked beans, beans and weenies.

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 (https://www.budgetbytes.com/2013/04/black-bean-avocado-enchiladas/). 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 (https://www.budgetbytes.com/2014/02/vegan-red-beans-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 (https://www.budgetbytes.com/2017/04/pressure-cooker-red-beans/) instead of cooking on the stove top for several hours.

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.

Perfect mate for corn tortilla, regular or Frito's own.

Whenever I crack open one of those cans, I gotta have an inconvenient place in mind to put it, so it's too much of a PITA to go get it and finish it off. Somewhere in the back of the fridge behind the box of OJ or something. Otherwise I'm chowing it down in one sitting and now I'm miserably stuffed.

This is my go to bean recipe that I used to enter into BBQ comps as a side dish.

Fry up a half pack of bacon and chop it up into pieces to add later. Put one can plain old van kamps pork and beans into a pan with 2 cans pinto beans, 1 can butter beans, one can red kidney beans, and one can white kidney beans or navy beans, and one can butter beans. Fine dice up one red pepper and one green pepper and one onion and put in the pan with the beans. Add the bacon. Add in 3 cups brown sugar, 1/2 cup worchestershire, 1 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon louisiana hot sauce, salt and pepper to taste.

Now, if you are smoking a brisket, simply put the pan under the brisket, smoke the beans for 3 hours, let the brisket juice drip into the beans, then add some chopped brisket at the end of the cook. If you are just making the beans, then add one or two tablespoons of liquid smoke to the beans, and put them into the oven with some chopped brisket (available at most grocery stores) and bake for 3 hours.

I've added some mustard or vinegar to them as a change and really like it that way. Just about 1/4 cup would do. If you need a bit more salt, add some soy sauce. It adds nice depth to it also
