has anyone tried fried beans? maybe they're just as good and we're wasting time

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Think about all the lard you'd be missing with only once though.

[-] protist@mander.xyz 15 points 5 months ago

Red beans and rice, cajun style. Also, borracho beans. Also, charro beans.

[-] HessiaNerd@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Borracho beans look good, gonna have to try that.

You should check out chifrijo.

Ful medames. When it's spiced well, it's kinda magic.

Also: in a burrito.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 8 points 5 months ago

Around here we boof the beans.

I leave that to the discretion of the reader.

Chili con carne

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 5 points 5 months ago

on tacos, followed by over cornbread, next most favorite as a dip, then over rice, then in stews (including chili), and then in soups. After that, maybe ground up into patties and fried?

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

I do what I call soupy Mexican beans, like not quite a soup, but pinto beans in broth with Mexican spices and fresh herbs over rice. I just made it up.

[-] cheesymoonshadow@lemmings.world 2 points 5 months ago

I do this too. Great comfort food, and quite healthy.

cassoulet. So much so that I've started soaking beans after reading this and before posting.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago

Oh! Oh!

Airfryer. They're so yummy and crunchy, perfect as a topping or filling for all sorts of stuff.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

Interesting. How long do you put them in for?

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

8-12 minutes, depending on the kind of bean and how crunchy I want them. Rinse, spray with oil, season to taste, excellent.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

I'll have to try it sometime. Thanks

Love beans! Seasoned and roasted with veggies, mashed and made into patties and fried/baked, in soups, in dips like hummus - all delicious!

[-] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 3 points 5 months ago

Burritos are pretty fucking good. Chilli over rice gets second place.

[-] actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

I love to slowly simmer white beans for hours.

I made vegan white beans as a Thanksgiving side. Normally I'd add bacon fat or sausage, but to keep them vegan I used coconut oil. Lots of it. Plus lots of seasoning and a bunch of nutritional yeast. They were on low heat for like 3 or 4 hours

Got more compliments on those beans than I did any of my other sides.

[-] zabadoh@ani.social 3 points 5 months ago

It's true, beans are amazing winter food.

I make big batches and always try to have some ready for a quick meal when I get home.

Chili con carne, navy bean soup, Italian wedding bean soup, (other legumes) split pea soup with ham, lemon lentil soup with chicken

Baked beans with runny eggs sunny side up

Refried in a burrito or huevos rancheros.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

I was raised Rural and Poor.

Thus, it's Libby's Pork and Beans from the can served on toast. Mustard to taste.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants makes this (fermented I think?) bean sauce specific to a single red snapper dish on their menu, and I wish they'd sell it by the gallon cuz that stuff is fucking incredible.

Couple different kinds of bean bao that hit pretty hard, too.

[-] watson387@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

Bao is good stuff.

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

in moderation.

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I usually eat beans with a spoon. Sometimes I even use my teeth.

[-] TheTeej107@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

What about green beans? I love green beans!

[-] watson387@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 months ago

Only fresh.

[-] Theatomictruth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago

One that I really like is navy beans cooked in chicken broth and rosemary, served pretty loose and creamy but not too soupy. We eat it with a side of lemony broiled broccoli, a poached egg, and topped with aioli.

[-] lvxferre@mander.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

I can only eat green beans (my body doesn't handle well other types). My favourite way to eat them is stir-fried, served with pork ramen; it's a bit laborious but it tastes amazing.

I also like to chop them into small bits and add to arroz de forno (dunno the English name - it's leftover rice mixed with other ingredients, then baked with a cheese and breadcrumbs crust).

[-] kindenough@kbin.earth 2 points 5 months ago

Suriname moksi alesi black eye pesi.

Zoutvlees (salted beef) with black eyed beans, dried shrimp (or salted cod), Madame Jeanette peppers, cooked in rice and coconut milk. It's what's on the menu tonight.

[-] Aksamit@slrpnk.net 2 points 5 months ago

I like boiling a bag of fresh soya beans and eating them plain while watching stuff.

Chana dal with aloo paratha (chickpea curry with potato filling stuffed in a fried bread) is probably my favourite beans based meal though.

Also as a brit, baked beans on hot (plant)buttery toast is very comforting on occasion.

[-] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Hear me out - butter beans with butter (or butter flavoured substitute) and teriyaki, maybe a splash of soy sauce or other umami. Heat till the butter melts, mix and cover the beans well, add to rice or have as its own thing. Sweat and savoury with an added richness, all in about 2 minutes. Nom.

Actually tinned beans (and other pulses!) + melty buttery-ness + flavouring is generally an easy to make winner. Black pepper and or garlic powder for something simple, add to those coriander paprika turmeric chilli for something a bit more interesting. Plop on a jacket potato or mix with rice and mince/strips/whatever meaty substitute for a full meal.

Tonight I'm having some in a curry (red kidney beans along with tinned corn, peas, and pineapple, with madras paste from a jar mixed with coconut milk, on rice with some chicken alternative).

I actually haven't had chilli for a long time, but now I know what ingredients to order for my next grocery delivery lol

[-] Chakravanti@monero.town 1 points 5 months ago

Refried pinto, black, & red beans, tomatillo & chipotle smoked salsa, Brown rice, Cholula, extra sharp white cheddar, seasoned chopped white chicken & pulled pork (cumin, chile, paprika, garlic, black pepper & onion powder) and all whipped us for a dip with Chile & Lime Plantain chips.

Literally just finished a nuked bowl of that that I made yesterday.

[-] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

Chocolate ice cream!

[-] FigMcLargeHuge@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Ranch Style cold right out of the can, just like nature intended.

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Dip them in bread. Not common for you guys, but I like it.
