I recently mentioned that I have been told I have a wheat intolerance. Since I discovered this I have been cutting down on the amount of bread and pasta that I eat (which was really hard!) and eating other alternatives such as quinoa, chickpeas and beans. Although it was difficult cutting down on the carbs, I'm quite glad that I was given a reason to do it because I have been feeling so much better since. I still treat myself to the odd crumpet or bowl of pasta, but to be honest I'm not missing carbs as much as I thought I would - and beans are so versatile, cheap, tasty and let's be honest quite pretty too.
Do you have any good bean recipes?
I don't have any bean recipes, but I love lentils! Just boil them with half a stock cube in some water, then add anything! I love them with some smoked salmon and creme fraiche.
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious! Will definitely give that one a go.
