although this isn't the whole picture because legumes include a bunch of crazy poo poo like mesquite, tamarind, clover, all kinds of stuff! there's a whole wide world of legumes!

It's taco soup.

This chart clearly shows not every bean is a pulse. Like the ground bean (pea nut)

Hatebag posted:

a pulse is the dried edible seed of a legume. peanuts and soybeans don't count as pulses because they have more fat. i don't make the rules but there they are

Hatebag posted:

i think soybeans aren't beans? god i don't know what to think any more. their name means "i am beans" for christ's sake!

bean year in review:

main lunch the first half of the year was channa masala ^{[1], [2]}. solid bean lunch, first recipe isn’t very good, need to try the second

kale+bean salad bean lunch for the summer ^[3], ran out of mint from my garden. dressing definitely does NOT freeze ok. reserved for summer potlucks

currently: garbanzos con espinacas for lunch ^[4]. using 1:2 frozen to fresh spinach ratio. user comment on there about a version including cinnamon + nutmeg, need to try

exclusively chili ^[5] bean dinners when traveling for work. loaded a week of frozen containers in the hotel mini fridge … sick setup. can’t be improved upon

masoor dal ^[6] need milder dried chilies for this one

holiday bean dinner ^[7] very good. VERY beany, not for the faint of heart. first try, took my eyes off it for a second and thr broiler burned the poo poo out of the bread and possibly caused smoke damage to the house. worth it

tofu: made tieban tofu ^[8] perfect quick meal w/ some gai lan

miscellaneous bean dishes: some generic nyt poo poo that exists in infinite permutations on their site ^[9] and some tiktok recipe ^{[citation needed]} with cherry tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and cannellini beans

areas for improvement:

working on a lentil soup ^[10], NEEDS a better stock than “better than bullion”, texture is too inconsistent with an immersion blender, need to batch blend half

still trying to cook a good kik alicha but can’t get it to taste like the restaurant — close to giving up

#1 tofu priority in 2024 is mapo tofu

would like to shift to dried beans to eliminate aluminum can liner microplastics from my diet, save $$, and try exotic confetti colored beans that someone posted about in the Covid thread but now I can’t find their post
