Ful medames. It's good if you have boiled eggs to serve with it but it's not necessary.

Secret to good black/red beans

>Few cloves per pound
>Miso paste

Miso paste is actually amazing for all beans. Navy/Lima beans done in chicken stock with some rosemary and Miso Paste is fucking delicious.

Beans do very well in a pressure cooker. One of the few things where a pressure cooker really shines.

Cooked beans freeze amazingly well. mellow the flavors for a day after cooking, separate out into servings, being careful to partition out the liquid to cover the beans, and freeze.

hope you bought some ham flavoring and salsa. Maybe saute up some onions and bell peppers

Chili con carne with rice. It's basically just bolognese with beans and lots of chillies, easy stuff but very tasty.

I have access to a lot of produce. So I have been thinking about some hashes or hash-type fried somethings. Just not sure what good combos would be beyond beans, rice, onions, and peppers. I can get protein too. Have some ground beef, sausage, and bacon right now.

When I was vegan beans and rice was one of my favorite meals. In one big bowl:

>black beans
>brown rice
>homemade salsa/pico de gallo (tomatoes, onion, cilantro)
>homemade gauc (lots of garlic)
>hot sauce

Fucking amazing and really healthy.

>>13832335
Oh, I thought you didn't like the suggestion. Hope you like it :)

>>13832376
to be fair I have so many beans if someone suggested bat urine I'd probably consider it at some point

Use only half as much rice, use stock instead of water, add some tomato paste to the frying onions as well as some thinly sliced pork belly. Also replace the cumin with smoked paprika powder if you dont like cumin.

>>13832496
I can sub bacon for pork belly pretty easily yeah?

Indians know their legumes. You've got endless shit to try there. Just hope you have a decent spice rack.
If not legumes always go well with a good amount of fat (eg.lard, ghee or tahini), smokey flavors(chipotle/smoked bacon), warm spices(nutmeg/cinnamon/cloves/cardamom etc.), a good amount of onion and garlic(get some nice color on them), ginger if you'd like, a little umeme(miso/shrimp paste/soy sauce,etc.), and some spiciness. Adjust acidity at the end with lemon/lime/vinegar since it fucks up the cooking. If you've got fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro use them, they always freshen up a can of beans.

Yup, dal makhni and dal tarka for lentils. Bonus points if you can make them like real Indians do and not seperate into beans and watery rice like the Westernized crap Indian can. Then you've got sambar for soup and who knows what else. Thinkin bout thos beans

>>13831743
What kind of beans?

>>13833277
shit looks tasty as fuck dawg. are those chick peas? they're the fucking best, easily the best of legumes

has anyones stomach actually been fucked lately by having too many beans? i thought i'm supposed to be having protein daily, but not like this...

>>13833641
I had beans 3 days in a row, plenty of healthy farts on days 1 and 2 but on the third day I just had these weird stomach rumbles, like I was about to fart but never did, it was quite uncomfortable. I'm spacing them out a bit more from now on.

The best black beans I've ever had were from a Guatemalan restaurant and looked like this. So maybe it's somewhat similar.

I was lucky and had bought a big bag of rice as I wanted to learn to make some new dishes. So it was easy for me to store up emergency supplies over time as people were freaking out and just grabbing dumb shit. I have about 60 days of rations and have been helping others learn to shop for the month instead of the week.

Stop being worthless.

ok i'll try more fermented foods. ive got some sour kraut working in the background

Don't overthink it. Sometimes just simple fried beans as a side is great.
I always add about half a can of rinsed beans to a skillet add some olive oil, chopped onions and garlic and fry it for a nice side dish.
Rice is easier. Just make sure it's a two to one ratio of water to rice. My secret is I use chicken broth rather than water. I always get compliments about my rice.

No cook kombu with your beans. They have an enzyme that helps break down fat sugars and makes them come out nice. Pro tip: put it in once your beans come down from a boil to a light simmering. Leave a good size chunk(or small for small amount) in for 20-30 minutes. You want to check it every 10min to make sure the skin doesn't start peeling. Once you notice the skin peeling, remove it. After that feel free to turn the heat to a faster simmer if desired.
