Those recipes sound great! Will need to try them sometime!

If you want the health benefits of beans, but aren’t too fond of the taste, try growing “Beefy Resilient” beans. They haven’t quite reached the grocery store shelves yet, so the only way to get them is to grow them. But, they are much easier to digest than other beans, and the flavor is 100% umami. When used in savory dishes, these beans really do taste like beef. When used in sweet recipes, they provide an added depth and richness without altering the topnote flavors.

I’m working on developing a strain that can be machine-harvested. At that point it will be easier to grow in bulk for the grocery market. But for now, I’ve only seen them sold as garden seeds.

I wish everyone on the Cooking Thread who observes Easter a blessed one, and all of our Jewish FRiends a joyous Passover.

My favorite film about the life of Jesus has always been Zeffirelli’s ‘Jesus of Nazareth’, which was orgiginally a television series in the 1970s, and is an absolutely beautiful film. If you subscribe to Amazon Prime, it’s included in your subscription.
