Like tuna salad or chicken salad, but, you know, with chickpeas. I make sandwiches out of it. I made this with Cajun seasoning because that sounded good to me, but you can use whatever. If you’re in the mood for something more asian, you could use togarashi. Or you could use rosemary and thyme and… Continue reading Chickpea Salad

Mexican pasta?
I guess that’s as good a name for this as anything? I found it online and it’s shockingly good. A great one pot meal with a lot of options so you can customize it the way you want. You can add ground beef, pulled chicken, fake meat, or none of them and just rely on… Continue reading Mexican pasta?
Butter Lentils (Dal Makhani)
So, I’ve been vegetarian for a while, but Indian Butter Chicken is still one of my favorite things in the world, so I looked into this, which is basically the vegetarian version of the dish, with lentils and beans instead of chicken. The flavors are almost the same, and it’s incredibly filling. One thing I… Continue reading Butter Lentils (Dal Makhani)

Most recipes start with assembling most of the parts of the pig and then adding beans for color. This one is just beans and aromatics and I’m a little fuzzy… Continue reading Vegetarian Feijoada
BBQ Baked Beans
I fucking love these. They’re beans but they actually taste good, instead of like something you take just to be polite. This is adapted heavily from Alton Brown’s recipe. He’s good on technique, but I find his recipes lack seasoning. So I kicked it way up. If you don’t like heat, when you go to… Continue reading BBQ Baked Beans
Miso Refried Beans!
These were something I just kind of made up because I wanted something to go with korean tacos. Here’s the thing I had recently realized: beans taste like crap because they only really taste like whatever you add to them, and most people don’t add enough seasoning to them. If you spike them up with… Continue reading Miso Refried Beans!
