Ooh I LOVE black beans! I will try to find some around here... beans (other than soybeans, mung beans, and red beans) don't seem to be very popular...0

Unfortunately beans give me severe migraines, so I will sit this one out.0

Funny, beans, really all legumes are a huge and very nice part of my diet. So many people I know,
particularly those from the U.S. East Coast have all kinds of reservations, concerns, and problems
with them.
I don't for a second discount the pain and symptoms people have. On the other hand I think it
might be like how children grow to have healthier immune systems and less
allergies if they were exposed to more dirt and allergens when children.
I'm guessing that being raised in a family or culture where legumes were a daily staple,
as adults, fewer people would suffer as they now seem to. (of course, I am not a doctor
and there is a more than 50/50 chance I'm full of, well, beans)0 -
I am totally coming back to this one. I have a few recipes,I just need to figure out the calories.0

Love black beans but not sure what to do with them. Since this is the first time I have seen this post, just wanted to know if I don't have a recipe can I still try them at home? Don't mean to sound dorky.0

A friend gave me a recipe for "Turkey Con Chili". It is made with black beans and is delicious especially during the cold winter months. I've posted it before in another forum so I'll find it and put it in this one later today.
Hope you all have a great day and am looking forward to new recipes.

Chili Con Turkey
1 pound ground turkey
1 can (14 oz) Rotel original
1 can black beans rinsed and drained
1 can corn drained
1 packet Chili seasoning
1 tbls. ground flaxseed
1 cup cooked brown rice
Brown turkey. Add everything else except the rice and cook for 10 minutes. Serve over the brown rice.
Serves 4: Calories; 407; protein 30 g; fat 11 g; fiber 9
(I've added this recipe to the foods list. Also I like to make this in the crock pot so it simmers longer and the flavors meld together better. My family really likes this recipe.)
Enjoy,

Layered Taco Dip
1 can (16oz) 99% FF Refried Black Beans
1 pkg ( 8oz) 1/3 less fat Cream Cheese
1 can (16oz) Stewed Tomatoes, drained (I cut them up some).
1 pkg ( 8oz) Light Sour Cream
1 1/2 cups chopped-up lettuce (I use romaine)
1 cup Shredded cheese (I use Mexican 4-cheese)
1 can (2 1/4oz) Sliced Black Olives
Bunch of Green Onions, chopped
1 jar ( 8oz) Taco Sauce
Layer away!!! I would recommend a 9 x 13" dish... I had luck (with easy spreading) as follows:
Cream cheese on the bottom, then beans, tomatoes (they kind of sink into the beans), sour cream, lettuce, taco sauce, cheese, onions and olives.
Depending on the level of 'fattiness' of the ingredients, the calories will differ... As listed, I come up with around 70 calories per serving (56 servings).
Serve with your favorite chip!0 -
Bump for later. I have a spicy black bean "burger" recipe that's oh so yummy.
And burritos...
and quesadillas....
I love me some black beans!

When is the deadline? I love black bean soup, but have not made it from scratch in years. When I was in Costa Rica, the family I stayed with gave me a recipe book that had authentic Tico homemade recipes to include a black bean soup that was absolutely delicious. Need to dig out that recipe book, see if I can made it, and share if it is as good as I remember.

You can also redude the olive oil from 1 tablespoon down to 1/2 teaspoon if desired. I have attempted to include a photo, but I do not know if it will work.

1 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups vegetable broth
3 cups water
1/4 cup dark rum
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 large tomato, chopped

We had black bean burritos tonight:
1/2 cup onion
1/2 green pepper
1 can Bush's Best black beans
*Bill echols Taco seasoning (see below)
La Tortilla factory tortilla
Yogurt or Light Sour cream
Avocado
Diced tomatoes
Shredded cheese
Salsa Verde
Alfalfa sprouts
Sautee the onions and peppers, add in 1 can of beans and mix in taco seasoning. Warm the tortillas, spread with a thin layer of sour cream. Add a bed of sprouts, then 1/4 cup bean mixture, sprinkle with cheese, top with avocado and tomato, drizzle with salsa. Fold and VOILA.
**Recipe for Bill Echols taco seasoning:
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Note: Do not use ALL of the flavoring or it will probably be WAY too hot. We doubled the bean/onion/green pepper mixture, still didn't use it all and it was SPICY. 0 -
Yum! I am so excited to try some of these new recipes! Here's one of my favorites. It comes from the "Williams-Sonoma Soup" cookbook:
Black Bean Soup
2 c dried black beans
2 T extra virgin olive oil
2 yellow onions, finely chopped
1 or 2 jalapeno chiles, seeded and minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small red bell pepper, diced
1 t ground cumin
1 t dried coriander (I left it out b/c I don't have any - didn't miss it)
1 t dried oregano
8 cups (4 cans) vegetable broth
2 T fresh lime juice
2 T minced fresh cilantro
salt and pepper to taste
Pick over beans, discard any stones or misshapen beans and rinse well.
In a large pot, combine the beans with cold water to cover by 3 inches.
Soak at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
Drain and set aside
In a large soup pot over medium heat, warm oil.
Add onions and saute until soft. Add chile, garlic, bell pepper, cumin, coriander, oregano. Saute until vegetables are soft (7-10 minutes)
Add beans, vegetable broth. Simmer over medium heat 1-11/2 hours or until beans are soft.
Puree soup in batches leaving some texture as desired. Return soup to the pot.
Add lime juice, minced cilantro, salt and pepper. If soup is too think add water or more broth. Reheat over medium heat.
If desired, serve with a dollop of sour cream, salsa and crushed tortilla chips.

Yam and Black Bean Burritos (found this on the Tasty Kitchen part of thepioneerwoman.com)
2 whole med. yams, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch chunks
2 tbsp. cooking oil
1/2 white onion, chopped
15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 tsp cumin (can be upped. I used about 1 tsp)
6 whole wheat tortillas
1/2 c. sour cream
bunch cilantro (about 1 tbsp fresh per burrito)
Preheat oven to 375. Toss yam chunks with 1 tbsp. oil on baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes. (I also wrapped my tortillas in foil and threw them in the oven so they would be nice and warm when the filling was ready)
In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp. oil over med-hi heat. Add onion and saute until tender. Add beans and cumin and heat through. Remove from heat and stir in yams
Spoon 1/2 c. mixture into warm tortilla. Top with sour cream and fresh cilantro. Take a bite. Die from bliss.

Serves 6 with one burrito each. Trust me, one is plenty.
We LOVED this. My husband ate three (and this from a man who told me he HATED yams when I wanted to make this recipe), and I was full for the night with one. Even the kids liked it and ate every last bean and piece of yam.0 -

NAME OF RECIPE: Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 16-oz can chili beans
1/2 16-oz can black beans
1/2 16-oz can whole kernel corn, drained
1/2 8-oz can tomato sauce
6 oz beer
1 10-oz can diced tomatoes with chilies
1/2 package taco seasoning
24 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts
tortilla chips
DIRECTIONS:
1. Place the onions, beans, corn, tomato sauce, beer, tomatoes, and taco seasoning in the slow cooker. Stir together. Place the chicken on top of the liquid, vegetables, and beans pressing down into the liquid.
2. Cook on low for 5 hours.
3. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set aside til cool enough to handle. Shred the chicken.
4. Put the chicken back in the slow cooker and cook for 2 more hours.
5. Serve over approximately 8 chips, with about 8 more on top for some crunch.
CALORIES PER SERVING: 453
HOW MANY IT SERVES: 4
OPINIONS ON HOW IT TASTED, ETC: I put the soup on this morning, got to forget about it nearly all day, shredded the chicken, forgot about it some more though I couldn't help but drool over the smell it was creating. Then when I was ready, I served the meal, watched Firefly with my boyfriend, and YUM!
The flavor in i was really pleasant. I forgot to serve it with sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese, which was the initial plan, but it cut down the calories not doing so and I don't think it necessarily needed it. It was a perfect dish for a chilly day.
