Check the Goya aisle for beans -- (I beleive that canned beans are just as healthy for you as dried beans are - and just as frugal... and saves you a ton of soaking time.
However, if you do go the dried and cooking the beans route- invest in a crockpot- it will save your self hours of watching the pot.
Lentils are the one bean that doesn'tmatter if it's dried or canned... they soak out pretty quickly.
Tonite's dinner (and leftovers for lunch tomorrow- and I'm not a veggie person - l just like the taste)
Black Beans and Rice
1 can of black beans
1/2 onion finely chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, minced
handful of cilantro
Cook Onions and garlic until soft (about 5 minutes) add green peppers, add one can of black beans, undrained, and chopped cilantro.. Simmer about 15 - 20 minutes.
serve over jasmine rice (or basmati rice, or whatever your rice pleasure is)
