I’m like you in that I always have a pot of beans in the fridge. I just finished eating white beans twenty minutes ago. There’s a recipe on the bag of Camellia Navy beans for “White Bean, Collard Greens, and Ham Hock Soup” that is delicious. I just use canned collard greens and add some chopped ham also.
I have a quick, no prep recipe for lentils.
1.5 cups rinsed lentils.
2 cloves garlic, crushed.
3 TBSP EVOO
8 ounces frozen spinach.
6 cups water.
Put it all in the pot, bring to boil, then reduce to simmer for 25mins.
Done and excellent.
No soaking. No 3 hour cook.
