Vegan Kitchen Rules:

  1. Be excellent to each other!

  2. All recipes MUST have a photo.

  3. If the recipe is from an outside source i.e. a food blog or YouTube, please link the recipe so we can support the original creator and study the recipe ourselves

  4. No anti-vegan bullying.

  5. Be welcoming to "flexitarians", there are people who are learning the vegan way and need help. We all have to start somewhere.

  6. No advertising or spamming allowed.

  7. No plate-shaming. Not all of us are chefs. Presentation isn't everything. Some recipes taste better than they look!

  8. Posted questions or opinions do not require a photo.

  9. THIS LAST RULE IS MANDATORY: Have fun! πŸ’–

I've always liked pinto beans, usually "refried", which is when you cook the beans and then mush them to a paste. Some crazy folks will blend the beans to a paste. I'm OK with that, but my latest thing is high pressure instapot beans with mushrooms.

Yeah you heard it here first folks! For the lazy people like me...6 volumes of beans to 1 volume of dried mushrooms in the pot with condiments and salt to your taste. Set it for 1 hr and come back to a meal full of various textures and the good bean flavor we've come to love.

Try adding a small amount of baking soda to your soak water following my method above. For a pound of dry chickpeas I use about a teaspoon. This helps the beans cook all the way through much quicker.

The opposite is also true. Add some lemon juice while they're cooking and they may never cook all the way through.
