My current favourite beans are black beans. Not only do they have a wonderful earthy, smoky flavour but to my mind they look sexy! The shiny blackness looks stunning with red chillies, yellow peppers, green herbs. - I could go on...
Another favourite of mine is fava beans (dried broad beans). I fist ate them in Cairo, where Ful Medames is something of a national dish. They have a deep earthy taste which almost edges into bitterness. and they collapse into a delicious rough soupy consistency when cooked. Utterly divine with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and coriander leaves scattered over and a flatbread to dunk.
What are your favourite beans? Perhaps its good old Heinz Baked Beans!?
