About Peas and Beans recipes
Chickpeas, lentils, black beans, white beans and butter beans: 18 recipes built on the cheapest plant protein there is. Falafel bowls with tahini, white bean and kale stew, black bean and sweet potato chilli, smoky black bean tacos and a borlotti bake.
This is the highest-protein corner of the site and the best value — tinned or dried pulses cost a fraction of meat and take on smoke, harissa and tahini without complaint. Many are one-pot, and most reheat better on the second day than the first.
Dried pulses are cheaper again, but tinned ones are the reason these recipes are weeknight food: no soaking, no timing, and the liquid in the tin thickens a stew. Keep a few tins, a bag of lentils and a jar of tahini in and this shelf is always open.
