        Nut and bean roasts freeze well, Bren. They'd be more useful for camping if they were formed into patties - these can be heated up in a frying pan - or sliced before you freeze them.

            wow that is one impressive list! I am growing borlotti for the first time so this just hits the mark. Can I ask, can you eat the young beans like runners-or am I being daft?

              Yes Raine you can: 5-10 min boil as for runners

                  delicious Lotty Beany stew

                  serves 4

                  1 tbsp oil
                  1 onion, sliced
                  3-4 garlic cloves, crushed
                  2 tsp cayenne/paprika
                  1 fresh chilli, chopped finely (or use dried/lazy chilli)
                  3 tbsp tomato puree
                  1 pint veg stock
                  1 lb ripe tomatoes, skinned
                  1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
                  fresh oregano, chopped finely
                  300g dried or shelly beans (soaked and boiled)
                  1 sweet pepper, julienned
                  1 courgette, sliced or chopped

                  to serve:
                  *mashed potato
                  *grated cheese
                  *cream
                  * crusty bread


                  * all optional


                  Fry off the onion, then add the garlic, saute for a few mins. Then add rest of the ingredients and simmer for about 20 mins or until the veg is softened


                  We had mash, hummus & cream leftover in the fridge, so I used them but they aren't necessary. I put a dollop of hummus & a dollop of mashed potato in each bowl, then the stew, then drizzled a bit of cream on top, then added grated cheese on top too. It all melts down together and blends just lovely. Real comfort food

                    Good - thought it might take me all night to find the bean recipes thread - but it was on the 2nd page thank goodness.

                        I need to learn to do that - I keep losing things I want on here - and then I keep getting side tracked by other interesting things when I go looking.

                            Great thread and lots of recipies, thanks for all the info Two Sheds. Had thought of saving beans to eat before but was not sure about it. Had asked a few people but not heard the replies I wanted to hear. Will definately be saving plenty of beans this year and trying out some of your recipes.

                                Looks I'm going to be kept very busy cooking up the recipes on here - many can be very easily adapted for low carb too.

                                Longing to try the Black Bean Soup now!

                                Thanks TS!!!
