QUERY: Wotz (to do) with the beanz?

 

Imagine, if you please, that you have a bag of dried beans or freezer containers

of already

cooked beans or cans of beans (as many of you probably have).

 

1. Give a choice, what kind of beans would they be? (kidney beans, for eg.,

black turtle

beans, adzuki beans, garbanzo beans, great northern beans, pinto beans, etc. -

you

choose.)

 

2. What dish would you suddenly and magically make out of them?

 

Love, Pat (who has to go and cook some beans!)

I always have a lot of dried beans on hand, but we invariably make 4 cups of

dried pinto beans (which makes about 10 cups) in the pressure cooker at least

twice a week. Some we eat whole in soup or over corn bread, but most we mash

into refried beans and the kids eat them after school in burritos or with

tortilla chips. We have two teenagers and there is usually at least two more of

their friends hanging around so we go through a lot of food and the pinto beans

are cheap, nutritious, filling, and they love them. (Unfortunately only one of

them is vegan so we go through a lot of cheese, too!)

Pressure cooker is a great way to go with beans, I understand. I go the opposite

direction

and put mine in the slow cooker - but the whole idea is to cut down on fuss,

right?

 

In response to my own query, lacking any brighter ideas (some days are like

that) I did the

last of some navy beans - cooked them Italian style, as if they were cannellini

beans (don't

see those around here for some reason, except in cans). Great. We're having some

for

lunch today with some veggies of course. I'll see if I have that recipe typed

up in case

anyone is interested. It's not spicy, but it certainly is good!
