Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 This sounds very interesting! but I ma not sure that I understand, could you please elaborate? Are you using dried beans ground up or cooked beans made into a paste? can you use regular flour? Also does this make a ton of sauce since using a quart of water??, should I cut it way down for just two people?

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hi Danielle, I use a little home grain mill to make fresh whole-grain flour for breads and bean flour for sauces and gravies. It's really neat nutritious and cheap. I can combine beans and grains -- what I want or have on hand; use beans, peas or lentils with brown rice, wheat or rye for a complete protein. Another way (I understand) is to soak and even cook the beans and grains first before using a blender or an immersion blender to combine them, like making soup, but I haven't done it that way. With the sauce you can make a lot or a little, as is convenient. You can always start with a little just to experiment with. It also freezes well.
