beans

This simple starter is all about subtlety. Its a gentle dish which showcases the mild flavour of each ingredient and complements their creamy, soft texture with the floral taste of saffron. The grated avocado stone is optional. It adds a slight nuttiness as well as being a talking point...

I wanted to make burgers, so I got out patties that I had preformed earlier. But, my wife didn't want burgers. So, what did I do? If you're married, you already know the answer to that question. :laugh: But, just because I decided to make chili didn't mean I couldn't make my burgers. I cooked...

If you've ever made a cassoulet, you'll know that although it is extremely delicious, it's quite an involved dish with multiple steps, overnight soakings, pre-preparations and whatnot and if you do it the traditional way it can take quite some time, though the end results are invariably worth...

I suppose this could go in the vegetable section, but since I’m currently dealing with some lentils, I put it here. Anyway, every recipe I’ve ever followed that uses dried lentils, beans, or peas always says to sort through them first and pitch out any debris (specifically usually mentioning...

This dish is a staple of New Orleans cuisine and has as many versions as there are kitchens. After looking through the pantry I put together this version which is a satisfying one pot meal. Andouille sausage might be described as a spicy fat hot dog for those unfamiliar with it. Ingredients 8...

* Note before we start. The quantities are approximate, because I never use a recipe for this. Ingredients: 500 gms conchiglie or rigatoni pasta 2 handfuls (about 160/180 gms) Borlotti beans 2 medium onions, diced (you're looking for a "brunoise" here) 1 large carrot, diced 2 sticks celery...

This is a vegan tomato-based stew, caper yiachni is made with stewed with garlic, onions, tomatoes and caper leaves. I started with the recipe from www.thepeppercook.com/2017/12/02/inspired-by-greece/ and modified it to our tastes (mostly by doubling the herbs and spices). Plus because I...

Here is one more staple of Cuban comfort food. It is loaded with vegetable protein and is healthy, filling and delicious. Back in the day it was called Cristianos y Moros (Christians and Moors) with the white rice grains representing the Christians and the black beans representing the Moorish...

Who doesn’t love a good Paella?! I love a good ”one pan” type dish such as this. Paella has always had a special place in my heart and never fails to cheer me up. I like whipping up one of these from time to time and the best part is that there are so many variations of them its hard not to...

Whenever I make chili, cumin plays a significant role. I like being able to taste it, and this preparation was going to be no different than past occasions...except that I couldn't find the cumin. I have a massive container somewhere...some reorganizing was done recently (not by me), and this...

This is the first time cooking beans under pressure. I usually cook beans in a slow cooker or slow and low on the range. INGREDIENTS 1 lb. dried Great Northern White Beans - rinsed and sorted 1 medium onion - diced (1 1/2 cups) 1/2 cup diced bell pepper 1 bay leaf 3/4 lb. Pork Tasso - diced...

It's cookout time again! What food goes good with meat cooked outdoors? Baked Beans!! And since we've been talking about favorite ways to do things, what is your favorite way to make Boson Baked Beans? Many people do them completely from scratch or from the can already cooked & doctor them up to...

Use a steak or meat not meant for long term cooking. Mine was labeled “Beef fajita meat”, and it resembled skirt steak already sliced up when thawed. Flank or flat iron steak would also work here. One could use ground/minced meat, but I find that the taste/texture experience of the chili with...

The aniseed flavour of fennel is a very good partner for cabbage and rosemary adds a lovely aromatic flavour to this dish. Use any sort of beans you wish. I used borlotti, because I had some to use up but green flageolet beans or haricot beans would look pretty. I served this dish with potatoes...

This is probably the best chilli I ever made. I think in the past I was guilty of treating chilli as an easy meal to throw together using minced beef, a tomato sauce and chilli powder. Here I used chunks of beef shin marinated in a chocolate stout. When I first started cooking this and taste...
