Recipes Using Dried Beans
Dried beans are a great source of protein. Their flavor and texture adds heartiness to these easy, delicious recipes. If you can, buy beans from a source that sells a lot of them and has a high turn-over. It sounds odd, but you want the freshest dried beans possible. They cook up faster and more evenly that beans that have been stored for a long time.
Beet and Cabbage Borscht
Technically, borscht is any stew-type soup. The best-known kind in the U.S., however, is made with beets and is brilliantly red. This version is packed with roasted red beets, onions, cabbage, and white beans--all the better to make it through a cold winter night.
