beans

Smooth and delicious cannellini beans or white kidney beans.

And a creamy yogurt/sour cream + lemon/lime route: soft, mild, and they won’t fight the mushrooms, spinach, and chicken.

Use chicken broth for the rice

Gnocchi with white beans pairs pan-seared potato dumplings with creamy cannellinis, tomatoes and spinach, and ties them together with melty mozzarella and Parmesan.

This salad keeps well, too, and the flavours will continue to deepen over time. This recipe is vegan and gluten-free.

**Tomato-free bean and potato curry**

This one required prep. It started with soaking a cup of beans that wouldn't fit into the proper container. 

So cook 'em!

I had potatoes and celery. That's why there is celery this time. It's not really needed.

No time like the present to soak some beans.
