Bean & legume recipes you can count on

 

Baffled by beans? Daunted by dal? Lily-livered around lentils? Or maybe you’re a bean wrangler, a pulse princess, an expert in all things legume. 

If you’re looking for bean and lentil recipes (including those for dried peas and chick peas) that are easy to make, made with common ingredients, and have been made many times with success, check out the recipes on this page! 

If you have a favorite bean or lentil recipe (or a book/blog full of ‘em) that is easy to make, made with common ingredients, and that you make and enjoy regularly, please let me know! You are welcome to copy the Steady Pulse logo image and use it on your post to link back to this page in order to help your readers find even more great bean and lentil recipes, or you can just let me know the link to your post and I will add it to the recipe list.

To read more about how I’m conquering my beanphobia by putting together a collection of the very best, “I make this all the time” recipes for beans, lentils, and other pulses, check out this post.

Rules for the Steady Pulse Round-Up:

• Identify your favorite bean, lentil, dried pea, etc. recipes – the ones you make again and again, that usually turn out well, that you and your family look forward to and know you can count on. If you haven’t written about the recipe yet, please write a post that includes the recipe and preferably a photograph of the finished dish. It’s also fine (great, even) to use an old post – the point is to gather time-tested recipes, so it may be one of the first you wrote about! 

• If you like, you can put the Steady Pulse logo above somewhere on your post, so people know this is a bean or legume recipe you can count on. You can link the logo back to this page so readers can find other great pulse recipes. But this part is optional.

• Send me an email by November 15th, 2009 at eversoscrumptious[at]gmail[dot]com with the following information:

- Your name
- Your blog name and URL
- Your post’s title and URL
- One photo (if applicable), sized to no larger than 300 x 300 pixels (does not need to be square, but the largest dimension should be no bigger     than  300px), with your blog name in the filename
- If you aren’t a blogger and would like to participate, please email your well-edited entry and photo (if you have one) to me and I will post it here

• Then come back to In My Box on Wednesday, November 18, for a round-up of new recipes to add to your regular rotation!
