Favorite Bean Recipes (a FB Discussion)

The departure from FB Has Begun, so far as I can tell.  So I am making a point of capturing some of my favorite recipe threads.  I have also backed them up as plain text. Here's one from October 20, 2014:

I keep reading things that say we should eat more beans. I did not grow up with any beloved recipes involving beans outside of re-fried beans in tacos and of course chili. Please, for the love of beans, give me your favorite bean recipes.

 

Lynda Gronlund-Naeem --Bean dip

Ok, you dip tortilla chips in it. It is amazing.

 

1 can chick peas

1 can black beans 

1 can or frozen package of sweet corn

1/2 jar of roasted red peppers, chopped in small pieces 

1/2 jar of trader joes marinated mushrooms chopped in small pieces

1 regular size package of feta cheese crumbles

1/2 to 2/3 bottle of trader joes balsamic vinaigrette 

Mix it all together in a big bowl and scoop it up with corn chips or just eat in shamefully by the spoonful o_O

Rinse the black beans & chick peas before putting them in

In a large skillet or pot, mix 2C cooked black beans (canned and drained ok), 3 tablespoons butter or olive oil, 1 cup orange juice, 1 teaspoon cumin, half teaspoon ground ancho, salt to taste, garlic to taste, one drop lemon oil.
