  1. I really liked the flavor of this. I guess I ended up making a triple batch because we don't have single cans of mixed beans where I live. I used garbanzo beans, cannellini beans, and small red beans. What a great accent of color the red beans gave to the entire mix. That coupled with the fresh scalion and cilantro really gave it all a terrific flavor. I only had one lemon on hand, so I used some lemon and lime zest to make up that extra citrus flavor since I used more beans than originally called for. I ate mine with low fat triscuts, but truthfully, it was great all by itself too!
     
  2. this is good! I used a mixed can of beans and the only thing I did different is I used a small can of mild jalepeno diced peppers and added 2 cloves minced garlic. this gave it a mexican flare and I served it as a side with burritos. We scooped it up with nacho chips,,,mmmmmm very good
     
  3. This was really tasty and versatile and has the consistency of hummus. I used a can of five bean mix.
     
  4. this recipe is really lovely. i modified this slightly because i didnt have any scallions but added 1 dessetspoon (10mls) of tahini paste which thickened the mixture but added its own lovely sesame taste. I am just soaking some dried beans so i can make another batch tomorrow

Since April 2008, I have been a vegetarian. I dont eat creatures...that's the easiest way to put it! :D I still eat a small amount of dairy, but not very much. I have been missing around here for a while, and hope to poke my head in a bit more often from now on... I hope you enjoy my recipes...
