Beans

[Foliage]

Anyone got any good recipes that have beans in? Simpler the better.

Im just after hearty warm filling protein rich recipes & ive not really done anything with beans before except chilli con carne.

ETA - I don't eat bread or potatoes HA..

Have a Google for Mexican type recipes using tinned black beans, dead simple to make & very tasty and satisfying.

Cheesy bacon beans with a touch of chilli.

Yep, love refried beans. Not completely sure they are particularly healthy if you use lard but subs. olive oil and I guess you might get away with it.

I use 8 cloves of garlic, two tins of kidney beans and half a tin of tomatoes. Just keep cooking and stiring until there are a thick gloop then keep loosening with olive oil until your happy. Season well and thats dinner.

Vegetarian chilli, substitute the mince with a couple of bean types of your choice and use a red or green pepper plus a courgette. Like all one pot wonders with spice they get better by the day.

Fry some red onions and garlic together gently, then add some beans, chopped tomatoes, sugar and Worcester sauce. Simmer and reduce, add a splash of white wine vinegar if you fancy cutting the sweetness, and enjoy!

Cassoulet is my favourite big beany dish. I make mine up as I go these days, but google found the Bikers' version:

Yep. I fry up some onions and diced chorizo, then fry some chicken thighs in the same pan, take the thighs out add a tin of tomatoes and drained canelini beans and a glass of red and a bay leaf, bring it to the boil put the thighs back in and chuck it in the oven for 40 minutes.

Job job

This, but caramalise some tomato puree instead of adding the sugar and add some vegetable stock, then blend before adding the beans...then bake in the oven for 30 minutes.

Thanks for the replies gents, I did indeed mean any beans.

Im not a big fan of sausages, but id perhaps have a look at making these recipes but using meat balls.

The red kidney bean burgers look interesting too and would I think go nice with a home made beef burger. I like falafels and this is similar, I should try making my own falafels as well.
