Hi guys, was just wondering if I could get help with recipes that are kidney beans based. Nothing too complicated as I like to know what goes into my food as well as limit the amount of spices etc. would be amazing if your recipes involve loads of other veg too. Thanks.

I'm really really stuck and I have about 12 cans of that beans in my cupboard. Help!

    I'd do something like this, and use as a dip for carrot sticks and raw green beans.

    I make awesome bean and quinoa burgers.

    Just google something like "kidney beans easy recipe" and you'll probably find all sorts of ideas. That's what I usually do when I want to use a particular ingredient. It's how I came up with the burger recipe.

    boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew?

    wait no...that's potatoes! but I do that with kidney beans too.

    Check out http://www.skinnytaste.com and search kidney beans - my favorite is the turkey chili taco soup

    I used canned beans of all sorts in my cooking whenever I don't feel like making my beans from dried, which is pretty much always...

    Anyway, I add them to brown rice or pasta with lots of chopped up cooked veggies (bake squash, peppers, onion, and asparagus in casserole dish tossed with some EVOO, lime juice and red wine vinegar at 400 for 20 minutes).

    Hope this helps.
