    Recipe Pork with Black Bean Sauce

    This recipe is a very straightforward, quick to make and to my mind, its foolproof. This is good, basic & tasty Chinese cooking. Plus, you don't need too many ingredients. However, you do need fermented black beans (not a bottle of ready-made black bean sauce). The beans are available quite...

    Recipe Asparagus with Truffle Oil and Black Bean Aquafaba Miso Mayonnaise

    This mayonnaise is vegan and made from bean water (aquafaba) - the liquid from tinned beans. I used black bean aquafaba which gives the mayonnaise a pinkish mauve colour which I rather like (for a white mayonnaise you can use chick pea water). The white miso adds a savoury tang to the mayonnaise...

    Recipe Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chilli with Chipotle in Adobo and Coffee

    For weird combinations that work this definitely qualifies. As with all chilli recipes, this is one where you'll want to adjust the chilli quantity according to your tastes. I like my chilli hot, and the quantities used reflect this. If you need to store coconut milk, you can decant it into...

    Recipe Black Bean Chilli with Coffee

    Maybe not an authentic way to make black bean chilli but the combination of coffee, soy sauce and smoky chillies provides a rich and savoury complexity of flavour. Mexican chilli sometimes does contain coffee, of course - but not soy sauce! Its easy enough to make if you use tinned black beans...

    black bean hummus

    A few months back I was watching the Food Network (probably triple D) and was intrigued to see black bean hummus. I'd never come across it before - and then, in May, a friend in Atlanta, GA mentioned it (and sent me a photo of her dish but unfortunately no recipe). I'm hopeful of taking...

    Recipe Vegan Black Bean Sausages

    Research into making vegan sausages with beans suggested that here are two important factors - you need something to bind the mixture (in this case wheat gluten) and you need fat added to avoid dryness and give the sausages ‘mouth feel’. The third thing you need to do is pack in flavour so don't...

    Recipe Black Bean, Leek and Cheese Bake

    This recipe was devised from ‘things that need using up’. A fat leek was beginning to look a bit elderly and there were bits and pieces of cheese left in the fridge. The beautiful orange tomatoes on the kitchen counter were looking a little forlorn. The result was a simple vegetarian bake, which...

    Recipe Chilli with Black Beans (with Vegan option)

    Black beans bring a wonderful smoky flavour to chilli and I think they work much better than traditional red kidney beans. Here, I've used specialist dried chillies (Aji Limon) but more often than not I just use hot chilli powder. Browning the meat isn't necessary, which is something I learned...

    Recipe Self Devouring Salad

    Inspired by this post from @SatNavSaysStraightOn: Are pomegranates, turmeric, red wine and red grapes the key to long life? Well, I'm going with that. I like the red wine and turmeric is always on my agenda. I'm not specifying precise quantities for salad ingredients here. You can use your...

    Recipe Pumpkin chili with black beans and garbanzo beans

    This should be an interesting recipe for the vegetarians on board and those who get excited just seeing the word chili. Consider it a Challenge combo as we are fresh out of talking about peppers. In this case I'd use a hot pepper instead of the chili powder truth be told. Ingredients: 1...

    Recipe Black Beans with Peppers, Orange and Carrot.

    This is an interesting recipe because it can be served either hot or as a salad. I came up with the idea after making Chicken and Seville Orange Khoresh which calls for orange peel and carrots. I was interested in the method for cooking them in julienne strips. I knew that orange worked well...

    Recipe Parsnip, Black Bean and Edamame salad with Lime Leaf dressing

    I've been thinking every which way about how to use parsnips in different ways for the CookingBites Recipe Challenge. Parsnips have a sweet earthy flavour which is enhanced by cooking them. In this salad they are combined the the earthy, smokey taste of black beans and the nutty taste of edamame...

    Recipe Vegetarian Black Bean Burgers with Orange-Basil Salsa

    I've been struggling to come up with any recipes for the latest recipe competition (the orange) mostly because oranges don't really feature in my diet because they are lacking flavour in the UK even when it is the season for them. Somehow they just don't compare to what comes off the trees in...

    Black Beans

    I have been using black beans instead of other beans in a variety of dishes. I've also tried using them to pare down the meat in some of my dishes. For example, I made a taco salad, and I used half as much ground chuck, and substituted black beans for the rest of the meat I would normally use...

    Bush's Cocina Latina Beans

    I just recently tried their new "BUSH'S COCINA LATINA® FRIJOLES NEGROS MACHACADOS" from their "Cocina Latina" line of beans, and was really impressed! I have yet to try the others in this new line but certainly plan to. I was a little worried at first, since I usually don't like pre-seasoned...
