BEAN anon here. Just cooked ten kilos of dry BEANS.the most obvious is dahl, you can buy Indian spice mix and a red onion. Freezes well, but you might make any lentil soup many BEAN stews are far faster to make with lentils. The green or black ones are often used this way. More ambition?Well you can use them as a filing, where you might otherwise use potato or flour. So they work very well in pies, pasties, samosas.Lentils are good with meat, ignore the vegan fags and their million sad lentil substitute dishes. Pressure cook a whole chicken and make a massive chicken and green lentil pie. I always add 1/3 lentils to mince meat dishes to make them cheaper, so you can put a marginal amount of lentils in a beef chilli. The orange lentils are very peppery and so go well in Mexican, but then black lentils have the best texture so can be used as turtle BEANs.More abstract?Well you can use chickpea and lentil flours in many dishes, which unlike meme flours is actually cheap. You get an interesting colour, high protein.Bear in mind that lentils are dry weight, so you're not paying for water, and they have significant fiber which many grains and rice don't. Instead of a replacement for meat, I encourage you to think of them as a replacement for pasta, rice or flour

>>20981142Basically the rehydrated beans and lentils last days under water, so I've got time to do three large batches of various dishes, a third of which are frozen straight away. And so I just alternate with a different legume every week, and make up 2/3 of my protein with legumes. And due to the fiber I actually digest all of this properly, which gives me popeye tier endurance.
>>20980970Koshari, of course!
>>20981129>Pressure cook a whole chicken and make a massive chicken and green lentil pie.This sounds interesting
>>20981159The pressure cooker is really it's own capacity. So red kidney beans are probably the most valuable legume, but without a pressure cooker very hard to cook. The pressure cooker doesn't just double as a regular pot, the two work together. So you can brown your onions and spices, throw in meat to brown, then yeet in lentils and give it 5 minutes. It'll already be hot so will reach pressure fast.A kilo of mixed frozen vegetables, a sachet of curry powder mix, a bunch of whatever chicken, often I just use a slurry of carcass meat and gelatine, half s kilo of green lentils. That's a lot of Pies.
