Wow! 100 cups of beans later! What a Black Bean Bonanza!
On a chilly February evening 8 women gathered to make Black Bean
Dishes to entice even the fussiest bean eater. We chopped, diced and
stirred for 4 hours with lots of laughs and of course…”bean jokes.”
[the great thing is that if you follow STIR’s bean preparation plan
you can totally reduce the issue of gas production] Yeah!
Participants learned about nutritional, fiber and flexibility of this little powerhouse bean as well as how to prepare it in the most flavourful way!
After all the work the group sat down to a delicious meal of Black Bean Chili[with
chocolate and beer], Southwest Black Bean and Sweet Potato Salad and Black Bean Brownies[you would never know they contained beans and quinoa].
Tired and satiated…everyone took home servings for a family of 4 these delicious dishes.
