In search of bean-based recipes that don’t require a lot of steps or ingredients or equipment. I’m looking for more comfy staples that I can make while I’m not feeling well. Any ideas?

    I’m a fan of peas and lentils because they require no soaking

    I’m also fortunate enough to have a pressure cooker for when I need beans now but have misplaced my time machine and can’t go back to last night to start them soaking :]

    My best “recipes” are just adding dried spices and condiments directly to the cooked beans, to-taste. I’m with you on “comfy staples for when feel not good.”

    Try combos like:

    • hot sauce, chili powder, smoked paprika, onion and garlic powder, salt and pepper, powdered lime
    • dried dill, tarragon, marjoram, garlic and onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, pepper
    • soy sauce, chili powder, garlic and onion powder, sesame oil, leftover duck sauce packets from takeout, dash of vinegar, pepper
    • cook beans with a bay leaf; chili powder, paprika, cumin, cardamom, tiny pinches of clove and allspice, salt and pepper
    • rosemary, sage, thyme, salt and pepper, tiny pinch of nutmeg

        you absolutely don’t if you’re patient enough.
        nobody has ever accused me of being patient however :]
