    I do usually bounce between black beans and chick peas. Every once in a while I switch it up with navy or kidney beans, but black and garbanzo are probably half my diet by weight and volume

    Lentils are great though, even more nutritious… Unfortunately I really don’t like them

        Hell yeah.

        Add in some onions, maybe sliced zucchini and eggs, some cayenne pepper and garlic? Amazing. Just ate a wrap of that without the rice and with some lacinato kale and Sriracha… Like 5 minutes of effort, better than most restaurant food, and I threw myself against a boss in elden ring several times while it was cooking

        Plus, if you have an air fryer you can roast the chick peas with heavy spices and a little oil, and you get a delicious and filling snack

          We usually make lemon and herb sauce and spinach/kale with it, but that sounds so good! Never dawned on me to do a more “red” spiced version with egg.

            It’s pretty great - you can add paprika and cumin for a Mexican twist as well

            I’ve never gone far with citrus and herbs - herbs for sure, but I’ll have to start experimenting with citrus too. I know it’s underrated, but I’ve never thought of adding it to beans… I can see how it could work though, lime goes great on fajitas or onions, I bet I can get a few new twists out of this
