Yellow Split Peas with Vegetables (Dal Takari) by John Spottiswood

Wow, this is such a wonderful dish and so easy to cook! The keys to this dish are the yellow lentils, fried potatoes, and cumin seed. You can change out the other vegetables (spinach is a nice addition as it adds to the creaminess of the dish). Make sure you fry the cumin seed and potatoes over sufficiently high heat that the cumin…

William's Texas Beans by Joe Schmelzer

Awesome baked beans.

Vermont Baked Beans by Micheline

These are my favourite baked beans because they remain white when cooked and just sweet enough. I always double the recipe. Freezes well.

Chickpeas Veggie Burger Patties by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

This recipe is perfect for camping trips because it doesn’t spoil fast and it is also very filling. I don’t normally fry veggies but I had to finish this dish super-fast and I chose the easy but not-so-healthy path.

Cherokee Mojo Stew by Gabriel Denison Chandler

This can be made with venison or goat, but doesn't play so well with chicken. A great stew to satisfy and pick most of the ingredients from your garden. This recipe is for 2-3 people, so increase accordingly. For wine buffs, a sturdy Shiraz or classic Cabernet marries well.

Chickpeas with Chorizo by Kyra Martin

I absolutely loved this! I'm a huge fan of chorizo and this was great. I cheated though and used canned chickpeas, so I altered the recipe slightly from the original to make sure all the spices got incorporated. I think it turned out pretty good.

Pot Of Beans (Italian Style) by Melodie

This family recipe is from my mother, Anne. Every Christmas and Easter she cooked a ham. This recipe was a way to be frugal and use every bit of it. She took the ham bone and turned it into a delicious pot of beans. This is one of the first recipes I tried to cook on my own. I put all the ingredients into a huge metal crockpot…
