Beans are high in protein, efficient to grow, and can even improve soil health. They cost less than conventional or new plant-based meats, and they’re increasingly getting attention among foodies.
Soaked overnight and cooked the next afternoon while I’m finishing up work, since the texture of canned beans weirds me out a little. My favorite bean dish, which I just had tonight, is black beans + rice + onions + worcestershire sauce. During the cool seasons I make a lot of bean soups in the slow cooker, but currently it’s “hoard the parmesan rinds in the freezer until it’s soup season” season.
BBQ Sauce, Ground Beef and Beans into the pressure cooker and boom, you got delicious meal ready. Add some high power spices to it like Carolina Reaper, Pepper X, Ghost Pepper, or whatever to suit your tastes and you got some helluva spicy beans to enjoy. It’s some of the best food ever.
I eat it along with some garlic buttered toasts and some vegetables like corns, green peas, and so forth. The best thing about this cuisine is that it’s as simple as you want it to be and it can be as complex as you wanted it to be as well.
Lentils/split peas are super easy (and less flatulent!). 1 part lentils, 3-4 parts water or vegetable broth, simmer for 15-30 minutes (less for red lentils, more for split peas). Season to taste with salt/pepper, hot sauce, curry, or whatever else. Or saute up some onions and/or mushrooms in the pot first and then toss in the lentils and broth. Or shred in some kale/swisschard/cabbage/lettuce and eat beans & greens.
How do you guys cook ‘em?

If they are dried, soak it overnight and cook in on a preassure cooker. if they are fresh its easier to cook.
