Baked Beans Recipe. Meat Option

adapted from Levana Cooks, using Garden Vegetable Levana Nourishments

beer-baked beansMy baked beans are a perfect super nutritious vegetarian meal.

When my son Yakov was a little schoolboy, he would always gush about the baked beans he had in summer camp. He always urged me: Mommy, you must get the camp’s baked beans recipe! I did call the camp once, and they were happy to oblige: Their baked beans came straight from Heinz cans, reheated. Now, I am happy to report that even my son’s tastes have evolved, and he declares that Heinz should request my recipe: Heinz, do you hear this? Way to go!

Beans are so easy to use and contain ample amounts of fiber and protein.

To save time, good quality natural canned beans are perfectly OK to use.

Dark beer, please. That’s the secret of my baked beans’ heartiness. Then, simply mix it all in and bake, it’s simple as that!

Meat lovers: Throw in 2 cups diced natural smoked turkey!

Pasta with Roasted Cauliflower Recipe

adapted from Levana Cooks, using Garden Vegetable Levana Nourishments

pasta with roasted cauliflower

Roasted Cauliflower is magic in this pasta dish.

In this roasted cauliflower pasta, you will love the robust flavor of  cauliflower, and the roasting intensifies the flavors even further.  I use frozen cauliflower, as it is already cut, cleaned, and every bit as delicious and nutritious as fresh cauliflower!

Attention Gluten-Free readers: This dish is for you too!

Although this roasted cauliflower pasta dish needs no help from the usual pasta suspects to be fantastic, have fun jazzing up this recipe some more with one of the following:

  • Minced anchovies or sardines
  • Capers
  • Fresh grated parmesan or other strong cheese
  • Toasted nuts
    In case you throw in any of the above additions, make absolutely sure to include no salt in your recipes, as one of these additions will be amply enough to salt the whole dish.

Cornbread is ready in a snap:

So nice to know we have options that are dairy-free, low-gluten, and gluten-free.

The secret of good cornbread is to stick your empty greased pan in the oven while you whip up the batter to get it really good and hot; this way the baking gets a huge head start as soon as the batter is poured, and the bread gets all those lovely trademark cracks all over.

Variations:

Corn lovers, you’ll be mighty happy: I have included several easy and fabulous variations of the beloved basic recipe:

Vegan Black Bean Burgers Recipe

adapted from Levana Cooks, using Garden Vegetable Levana Nourishments

My Black Bean Burgers are Vegan AND Gluten-Free!

If you are carb-conscious, you’ll be happy to know my BBB are so hearty, nourishing and filling you will enjoy them even sans bun, so as not to pile on too many carbs at one seating.

I make no end of Burgers: Meat, Fish, Poultry and Vegetarian, check them all out. But in this recipe, I am aiming at something else:

Black Bean Burgers are a wonderful way of getting your fill of fiber and protein!

They look and taste so much like their meaty counterparts, it will leave you scratching your head! While the flavor lineup in my black bean burgers is decidedly Latin, feel free to vary the seasonings to suit your taste. Likewise, experiment with cooked red or white beans, lentils, quinoa or kasha. Same with other flours: Chickpea flour, lentil, buckwheat, brown rice etc….

The nutritional yeast flakes will give the black bean burgers a pleasantly cheesy flavor, the vegan way.

The burgers freeze beautifully, and they are delicious at room temperature too.
