These Beans

By Lilveggiepatch @Lilveggiepatch

There are a few recipes in my repertoire that I return to again and again. Simple, comforting dishes that are easy to make and I somehow never get sick of. A few of my favorites:

These tahini-dressed beans are the garnish to this spinach and kale soup I bookmarked to make during Hurricane Sandy. The soup on its own is pretty good- hearty greens in warm broth are hard to beat- but it’s all about the beans. You’ve got to try them.

All you do is mix a can of chickpeas with the juice of 1 lemon, 3 T tahini, 3 T olive oil + a handful of parsley, finely chopped. So easy.

I liked them so well, I made them again a few days later (this time, using white beans) for a little dinner party we had at Anna’s to welcome her to her new apartment.

I served them alongside big romaine leaves, so we could make lettuce wraps and eat them with our fingers. Fancy!

We also dined on lasagna (with homemade marinara!), garlicky broccoli with sundried tomatoes, and sautéed kale with butternut squash and pumpkin seeds. And a fair amount of wine.

We’ve been BUSY lately, which is why posting has become a little infrequent. But busy is good! And I can’t wait to share some things with you.

If you could pick three foods to eat every day, what would they be?
