bean recipes
looking for tried and true bean recipes - Sam needs more iron and I've never cooked beans before.
any favorites? could be soup, beans and rice...anything a little one might like.
Re: bean recipes
Sure...here is my MIL's famous Lentil Soup recipe:
Amalia?s Lentil Soup
1 bag lentils
1 carrot, finely chopped*
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
? cup olive oil
1 tsp. chicken base/bullion
4 bay leaves
10 cups water
1 small (8 oz) can tomato sauce
1/4 cup white vinegar (or more, to taste)
Add lentils to 8 quart pot, cover with water; bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and drain water.
Return lentils to pot and add above ingredients though water. Cook over high heat until soup comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cover; stirring occasionally. Simmer until lentils are soft, approximately 45 minutes.
Stir in tomato sauce and vinegar. Simmer for another 5 minutes; serve.
NOTE: This makes a large batch so you may want to have some spill proof, airtight containers on hand to freeze.
* I usually chop 2-3 carrots because George loves them but, adjust to your preference. It won't effect the cooking time.

i have a lentil pasta recipe i can post for you later tonight
*edit- I lie! I found it in my email
I love this, its so yummy and easy.
Make a type of small pasta- like shells, bowties or elbows. Boil the water with salt and put 1 teaspoon of oregano in water, set cooked pasta aside,
In a pan like wok or deep pan put 1/4 cup olive oil with 3 or 4 cloves garlic, chopped and some chopped up onions (like little onion half) do not burn. Add 2 cans lentil soup (progresso) and cook 15 mins when you see it start boiling on side add pasta and stir. Sprinkle parmesean cheese on top mix in.
