I love beans they are filling and are great in spreads but, I am done with the few recipes I know, I need some new ideas.

I love chickpea salad. I take chickpeas, mash them up a bit with a bit of mayo (just a little) and some avocado. Great in a pita with some veggies or on a sandwich.

For chickpeas as well I make roasted chickpeas as a snack. Dump chickpeas into a bowl, add in a bit of oil and whatever spices you like. Mix up well so the chickpeas are covered than dump onto a cookie sheet and pop in the oven at 400. Mix them up every 15 mins or so and cook until crunchy. SOOO good!

Have you ever tried sprouting beans? I use mung beans to make bean sprouts (works well with chickpeas too!). All you need is some mason jars and a bit of cheese cloth (even a piece of panty hose works). Great for salads, wrap, sandwiches, stir fries, etc.

Black beans are great to make veggie burgers with. Tons of recipes online!

I also make a vegetarian chili often in the colder weather. I use kidney beans, black beans, chickpeas, etc.

There is a great chickpea soup recipe in Jaime Oliver's Italian cookbook - just substitute veg broth for the chicken broth.
Peter Berley has a wonderful vegetarian cookbook that has many vegan recipes and a huge section on beans. All of his recipes have been great so far.
