Welcome to the Vegan Theory Club Weekly Megathread!
Question of the week:
What is your favorite bean?
Feel free to talk about anything, whether it’s vegan-related or not. This is a chill space for connecting, sharing ideas, and supporting each other.
Looking forward to hearing what everyone’s up to!
Team pinto but all beans are beautiful
My favourite beans are Gigantes plaki and I usually eat it with rigatoni. Very interested in seeing all the kinds of beans people eat here!
Mine is kidney beans because of rajma and rajma’s less spicy American counterpart chili.
Don’t have much experience with beans, but I quite like black turtle beans. Still struggling with making them, though. The canned beans often fall apart and I haven’t yet tried with dried beans, as those are quite the commitment to prepare. 😅
Beans falling apart is a good thing! They turn into the sauce for other things in that way and is my favorite thing about beans
Well, the black turtle bean specifically has a hard ‘shell’, so you use it when you don’t want the beans falling apart, like in burritos or salads.
That’s also part of the reason why I think they’re neat, they just look damn aesthetic:
But interesting point nonetheless. I have been trying them in tomato sauce, and maybe the hard shell is holding them back in that case…
My favourite bean is pinto. Also like black beans, cannellini, kidney, and string beans if you wanna count them lol
Pinto beans are one of my staples. They are not a fancy bean, but combine with some onion, garlic and spices in an instant pot and i have delicious refried beans that can be eaten as is, or used in so many recipes.
