About this ebook

Beans are an excellent form of protein that is also very low in fat and rich in other nutrients such as fiber, vitamin B, iron, protein, potassium, magnesium, zinc, along with many phytonutrients. One cup of beans in any form provides 17 grams of protein, which makes it an excellent alternative to meat protein as it has only three-quarters of a gram of fat per cup. This is why everyone should consume at least 4 servings of beans per week.

There are a wide variety of beans, each with a unique taste of its own, such as kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, garbanzo beans, white beans, lima beans and split peas. Even though beans are an excellent form of protein, not many people utilize them to their full extent. This is why in this book we are bringing you 50 delicious and irresistible bean recipes that are simple to make and delicious down to the very last bite.

    Slow cooked tomato and white beans

    Serve: 3

    Ingredients

    1 cup of heaping navy beans

    1 and a half liter of water

    1 large carrot, chopped

    1 large onion, chopped

    Couple of thyme sprigs

    One or two rosemary sprigs

    One or two sprigs of sage

    1 teaspoon sea salt

    3 slices of bacon, chopped

    4 tablespoons of olive oil

    1 small to medium large onion, chopped

    4 tablespoons of minced garlic

    Quarter teaspoon of sea salt

    Half a kilogram of tomatoes, diced

    8 tablespoons of pureed tomato

    One sprig of thyme

    Quarter teaspoon of pepper

    Recipe

    1. In order to prepare the beans, soak them in a saucepan or large bowl of water. The level of water should be higher than the level of beans. Leave the beans to soak for at least 12 hours.

    2. In the morning, take the beans soaked in water and drain them. In the same saucepan, add in the 1 and a half liter of water along with the chopped carrots and the chopped large onion along with the sprigs of thyme, rosemary and sage, chopped. Make sure to save one sprig of thyme for the sauce.

    3. Let the contents come to a boil. Once a boil is achieved, reduce the heat and let the contents simmer, partly covered, for about 40 minutes to an hour till the beans are partially done. Add in the 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and bring back the pan to a simmer until the beans are done to your desire. This should take up to an hour more.

    4. While the beans are cooking, you might want to start preparing the sauce. Take a skillet and add oil to it. Let the bacon cook in this skillet till crisp, approximately 8 minutes.

    5. Add in the medium onion, chopped and continue cooking till onions have caramelized, they should have become golden and crisp.

    6. Add in the 4 tablespoons of garlic along with the quarter teaspoon of sea salt along with the quarter teaspoon of pepper. Continue cooking, still continuously, for two to three minutes.

    7. Add in the diced tomatoes along with pureed tomatoes. Now add in the chopped sprig of thyme, mix well and let the contents simmer for about half an hour. Make sure to keep stirring so as to prevent the sauce from sticking. The sauce is done when it has reached your desired
