Legumes are really part of my daily cuisine: it can be Lentils, Chickpeas but also Dried Beans. Today, I’d like to share how to make these Baked Red Beans: a great daily-life lunch or dinner.
Why do I cook red beans?
Actually I buy them regularly for the proteins they provide, as a substitute for meat (when they are combined with carbohydrate). They are also an excellent source of fibre and iron and are very cheep.
How do I cook them?
I personally love to eat red beans in a Chili sin Carne with rice, in my vegetarian Lasagnas, or as falafels in the oven. Hence the recipe of the day: Baked Red Beans…
Enjoy!
