Of course I've always looked at beans as being a bit of padding with not a lot of taste, but vegetarians have to eat something & they're OK if you like that sort of thing, but give me a steak any day.I do give them their place with sausages, or in a stew or to make mince go a bit further, but it's only now that I come to look at some recipes, that I have rather more enthusiasm.
By chance, I caught the end of a Jamie Oliver programme C4 this evening & - damn me - if he wasn't cooking barlotti beans too in a delicious looking dish which I must have a go at too.
Wonder if I've grown enough beans...?
Too many? Not if you want to save and swap them too. There must be a word for 'fear of growing too few beans'?
ReplyDeleteI love them in a pork (or pork sausage) casserole. Pork and beans is a marriage made in heaven!
Starting to suffer from mal-legume-itis here - each family size bean-based meal seems to call for about a pound of dry beans. That's loads!
ReplyDeletebut give me a steak any day
ReplyDeleteespecially if the jacket potato and salad came fresh from your lottie!
Might start to put up what home grown stuff I'm eating each day, Bilbo - not sure yet - but jacket spud & salad did come from the Hill last night!
