Hello everybody! User That Works is puttin' on a NICSA about beans and I said yeah okay, here ya go: Main: crispy  Side: hummus with honeyed harissa and toasted pine nuts  Drink: caraway gin sour with aquafaba  Dessert, option 1: Lima bean and walnut "custard" with whipped cream and lima bean dulce de leche  Dessert, option 2: Lima bean and walnut custard hand pies with lima bean dulce de leche drizzle  Processes: Overall idea: bean dessert is tough, so I started googling until I found out Peru's "manjarblanco dulce de leche". Sounded interesting, so I found a recipe that uses lima beans. Since the Peruvian dulce de leche was more of a topping, I needed a dessert base. To make things difficult for myself, I wanted to invent a new dish: lima bean and walnut "custard" to be similar to rice pudding or walnut and honey balls, which I figured would go well with Mediterranean food. Plus, any excuse to make fried pita is good enough for me. Hummus:  Soak with 1 tsp baking soda, drain & rinse, boil with aromatics, strain & blend with minimum broth necessary to keep it moving. Make tahini sauce with garlic & lemon juice, whisk together, taste & adjust seasoning. For the topping: approx 2 Tbsp harissa, 1/2 Tbsp honey, 2 tsp sunflower oil, taste & adjust, 2 Tbsp toasted pine nuts Full recipe hummus and tahini sauce, original source Ground turkey:  Black cumin, oil & ground turkey, chopped garlic on medium-high heat. Brown, then deglaze & set aside. Crispy garbanzo beans, greens, chard stems:  Without wiping out pan, add drained & rinsed garbanzo beans with plenty of oil. Once crispy, add to turkey. Oil & chard stems until tender. Greens briefly, then return turkey et al to pan to reheat. Full recipe, original source Lima bean and walnut "custard" and dulce de leche:  Soak with 1 tsp baking soda, drain & de-skin (~20 minute task, put on a podcast)  Cook the poo poo out of it with sugar & cinnamon. Add evaporated milk to make dulce de leche, toasted walnuts to make the "custard" custard and dulce de leche, original source ... hand pie:  I really enjoyed the challenge, though I learned some things the hard way:

Posts like these are why I should just pull the trigger early on and make my first NICSA entry. Now I'm all "ugh, why bother, I can't compete with that". Seriously, nice work, BB! The only bean I dislike is lima, and yet your post has me salivating.

Now I'm all "ugh, why bother, I can't compete with that". Thanks y'all! My Peruvian friend says it's traditionally made with pallares, which are different from Lima beans but she understands the substitution. And yeah, do an entry. It's fun! Put me outside of my comfort zone for sure, and the only reason I got better at plating & photography is to mimic folks on the Dinner thread.

I threw the menu for mine together last Thursday since it sounded like a fun thing to do that would also end up being somewhat healthy.

This is exactly why I avoided reading the other entries before finishing mine, posting a week late to the party be damned. Those crispy chickpeas really do look awesome, and that pie is just so happy it's being made

Hot drat, am I a sucker for hummus and yours looks fantastic. The creativity of the "custard", the hand pies and the drink are all also awesome. How was the dulce de leche?

Thank you! It's definitely starchier than normal dulce de leche, but I ate it all up pretty quick. Usually a teaspoon of the dulce de leche, a couple tablespoons of the custard, cover and nuke for 30 seconds. Scratches a similar itch to bread pudding It was definitely best in the pie but I only ever made one because we already had the dough for empanadas.
