Could we do a recipe 'theme' for beans also ? next time maybe ?

Preferably about all kinds of beans... Recipes where the main ingredient

 

are beans.

 

Some examples to give a better idea ......

 

 

Spinach and Chickpea Soup

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

11 ounces dry chickpeas

1 bay leaf

1 small garlic

1 large onion - peeled and quartered

1 lb 2 oz spinach leaves - washed

 

salt and either cayenne or freshly ground black pepper

 

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 thick slice bread - crumbled

1 small garlic

2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley

 

Soak the chick peas (garbanzos) overnight in cold water.

Drain and place in a pan with enough cold water to cover.

Add the bay leaf, the unpeeled garlic, and the onion.

Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 1 hour until the chick peas

are almost done.

Cook the spinach in a separate pan, using just the water trapped in the

leaves after washing, with a little added salt.

Drain and reserve.

Heat the oil and gently fry the other clove of chopped garlic with the

bread and parsley.

Remove and blend to a smooth paste with a little of the chick pea

cooking water.

Remove and discard the head of garlic, bay leaf, and onion segments

cooked with the chickpeas.

Stir in the spinach and gradually mix in the garlic and bread paste.

Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Season with salt, pepper and serve.
