refried beans

Beans without Side Effects?

Can you have beans without ummm… side effects? Yes, it is possible!  The key is in the proper soaking and rinsing of the beans prior to cooking.

These beans are the base of many recipes in Nourishing Traditions. I make these about once a year, make them into refried beans and also leave some whole, and freeze them in jars. The whole beans I use in minestrone soup, chicken tortilla soup or other vegetable soups. The refried beans we use on a weekly basis with tacos or as a side dish to enchiladas. The girls even use them for impromptu nachos when I don't feel like cooking for a night. Easy and inexpensive!
