KAFERBOHNEN SALAD

A simple and delicious traditional recipe from the state of Styria in Austria. Scarlet runner beans are used and cooked from dried, but they can easily be substituted for butter beans. This basic recipe can easily be enhanced by adding tomatoes, sweetcorn, green beans or boiled egg. 

Antiguan Spiced Black Bean Cakes

This is the first recipe from my first ever series where I'm making a bean recipe from every country I have visited so far in my life.

First up and we are off to the sunny Caribbean to enjoy some Antiguan Spiced Black Bean cakes.

 

Dreamy, creamy, mushroom, miso and bean soup

I put together this soup predominantly by a few ingredients I had left over in the fridge and I needed too use them up. I had bought some yellow sticker mushrooms and very kindly been sent some amazing oat miso to finish this soup off, but you can use any miso you have.

Laal Maas beans

Laal Mass beans is a fiery dish, traditionally made with lamb or mutton and translates to red meat, 'laal' is red, for the red fiery sauce made with dried red chillies and 'mass' for meat.

I wanted to create a sauce using all the traditional spices and ingredients to which I could simply add some beans, in this case some meaty butterbeans and some green beans which are perfectly happy being braised until soft. 

Spanish Chicken, Chorizo and Chickpea Stew

Happily serves 4

This stew brings all the Spanish flavours and typical Spanish ingredients into one pot for you to enjoy any time of year, all that's required is a bowl and a spoon and some chunky bread for dunking.

Spicy Southwestern Garbanzo Beans or Chickpeas to usThis was a recipe from an old American cook book that I have adapted to suit my taste which is for it to be more spicy and less sweet, this dish is quite addictive and can be served hot or room temperature, serve with rice, pickles, flatbreads, on toast or just on their own with a spoon
Turkish pepper, black-eyed bean and quails egg salad with za’atarSummer isn't over until the salad days end. This is a very simple salad to make no longer than the time it takes to boil and egg or two, a classic from Turkish Cuisine, can be a simple side salad or a main on it's own. I've used quails eggs here but you can use regular chicken eggs and if you can't get Turkish peppers, regular peppers are absolutely fine.
Red Dragon PieNamed red dragon pie because the Chinese call adzuki beans 'red dragon', these beans are packed with goodness, protein, fibre, potassium, magnesium, Vitamin B6 and iron. A delicious potato topped savoury umami rich pie, perfect for a meat free dinner.
