Red and Black Bean Stew

I’ve been making this Red and Black Bean Stew at home, when I travel to airbnbs, or to bring to a potluck, it’s THAT versatile and simple to put together. The ingredients are easy to source. You can make your beans from scratch and keep the cooking liquid, but canned ones are just fine. The kids also love this stew and ask for it served over rice. The addition of coconut milk at the end gives it a creamy texture that you’ll start craving often! If you have 20 minutes to make dinner, try this stew!

Fennel and White Bean Stew

This Fennel and White Bean Stew is tasty, satisfying and what’s more important, it is ready in 20 minutes! I could stop right here, because that’s a selling point in itself. But I like giving some background info to my readers. I came up with this recipe because I really like the idea of using the liquid from the can of beans. Why waste it, right? I had made a black bean soup the week before and decided I could use the same template for other soups and stews. Fennel being one of my favorite vegetables, I figured that fennel and white beans would be a match made in heaven.

Did you know that fennel is in the carrot family? It is not a root vegetable, however, but rather a very hardy, perennial herb. I actually remember seeing fennel sprout back in the spring in Livity Gardens, without me planting any seeds. For a novice gardener, that was like magic!

Although indigenous to the shores of the Mediterranean, fennel can now be found growing in many places around the world. The bulb is used as a vegetable in cooking, and the fruit, which we also use in this recipe, is an aromatic, anise-flavored spice.

The word fennel came from the old French word fenoil, from the Latin faeniculum, which can be translated to “hay”. Fennel was highly valued by ancient Greeks and Romans, who used it as medicine, food and insect repellent. It was believed that a fennel tea, consumed before battle, would give the warriors a high dose of courage. Fennel is also used as one of the three main herbs in the production of absinthe, an alcoholic mixture that originated as a medicinal elixir and is now consumed as an alcoholic beverage, especially in France.

In 2014, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, India was the number one producer of fennel in the world, followed by China and Bulgaria. It is interesting to note that it is one of the most important spices in Kashmiri cuisine and Gujarati cooking. In many parts of India, the roasted fruit is consumed as a digestive after a meal. Fennel seeds are also candied and used as breath freshener.

For other fabulous recipes using fennel, check out this Quick Fennel and Garbanzo Beans Soup and this Shaved Fennel, Avocado, and Grapefruit Salad.

Pinto Bean Chili with a Secret Ingredient

Pinto Bean Chili with a Secret Ingredient
Pinto Bean Chili with a Secret Ingredient

When was the last time you were truly amazed by a chili? This Pinto Bean Chili with a Secret Ingredient will do just that! With this recipe, I admit, you won’t get away with a 30-minute magic dish. It takes some dedication to build your flavors, but you want it that way. I flame-roasted my chiles at the beginning, and I even added some bittersweet chocolate towards the end for some sharpness and depth. The use of fire roasted tomatoes (canned) also adds a pleasant smokiness. You can serve this Pinto Bean Chili with this Cashew Sour Cream for even more decadence.

Pinto Bean Chili with a Secret Ingredient

  • Author: Karine K

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups pinto beans, sorted, soaked overnight, and rinsed well (red or other beans work nice as well)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3-inch strip of kombu
  • 7 cloves garlic, 2 cloves crushed, 5 cloves minced
  • 4 Anaheim chiles
  • 4 Pasilla or New Mexico chiles
  • 2 28-oz cans of fire-roasted whole tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 3 teaspoons Mexican chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 tablespoon toasted cumin seeds, crushed
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 56 drops Tabasco
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 tablespoons dried Mexican oregano
  • 2 ounces bittersweet (or Mexican) chocolate (about 1/2 cup)

Instructions

In a large soup pot, place the beans, the bay leaf, the kombu, the garlic cloves, and add enough water to cover by 3 inches. Bring to a boil gently, over medium heat. By bringing to a boil gently and by continuing to cook gently, the skins of the beans stay intact and the shape of the bean is retained. The kombu will also help the beans cook faster. Skim the foam off the top once the beans approach the boiling point. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for about one hour. You can, at this point, add generous pinches of sea salt and continue cooking until the beans are tender, but still hold their shape. They will still cook during the making of the chili. Once the beans are cooked, drain, discard the kombu, the garlic, and the bay leaf, and set aside.

While the beans are cooking:

On the open flame of a gas burner, or on the grill and using tongs, char the skin of the Anaheim and Pasilla chiles. Transfer the chiles to a bowl with a plate on top, to create steam. This will loosen the skin from the chiles. Let rest 15 minutes. In a large bowl, crush the tomatoes with your hands. Transfer 2 cups of tomato purรฉe to a blender. Peel the skins off the chiles. Remove the seeds and chop. Place in blender along with the tomatoes. Purรฉe until smooth. Set aside.

In a large Dutch oven, heat the grapeseed oil over medium heat. Add the onion, the 5 cloves of garlic minced, coriander, chili powder, cayenne, and crushed cumin seeds. Sautรฉ until the onion is tender and translucent, 5-6 minutes. Add the chile and tomato purรฉe, the rest of the crushed tomatoes, salt, Tabasco, the cinnamon stick, oregano, and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.

Once the beans are cooked:

Stir in the cooked beans and continue cooking, covered, for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the chocolate and continue cooking, uncovered this time, for an additional 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot with some cashew sour cream, fresh cilantro, and some lime quarters.

  • 56 gouttes de Tabasco

  • 2 onces de chocolat mi-sucrรฉ

Instructions

Dans une grande casserole, mettre les haricots trempรฉs, la feuille de laurier, le kombu, les gousses d’ail, et ajouter assez d’eau pour couvrir de trois pouces. Apporter ร  รฉbullition ร  feu moyen. En portant ร  รฉbullition ร  feu moyen, et en continuant de cuire en mijotant doucement, on s’assure de conserver la peau et la forme des haricots intactes. Le kombu aide aussi ร  cuire les haricots plus rapidement. ร‰cumer la surface de cuisson alors que les haricots approchent du point d’รฉbullition. Rรฉduire le feu et mijoter, ร  couvert, pendant environ une heure. Bien mรฉlanger et ajouter de gรฉnรฉreuses pincรฉes de sel.

Pendant la cuisson des haricots:

En utilisant des pinces, sur la flamme d’un brรปleur au gaz ou sur le grill, griller la peau des piments Anaheim et Nouveau Mexique de tous les cรดtรฉs. Transfรฉrer les piments dans un bol et couvrir d’une assiette afin de crรฉer un effet de vapeur. Laisser reposer 15 minutes. Dans un grand bol, rรฉduire les tomates en purรฉe avec les mains. Transfรฉrer 2 tasses de tomates dans un mรฉlangeur. Enlever la peau et les graines des piments, et hacher grossiรจrement. Placer dans le mรฉlangeur avec les tomates. Mรฉlanger jusqu’ร  l’obtention d’une consistance lisse. Rรฉserver.

Dans une cocotte, chauffer l’huile ร  feu moyen. Ajouter l’oignon, les 5 gousses d’ail รฉmincรฉes, la coriandre moulue, la poudre de chili, le cayenne, et les graines de cumin broyรฉes. Sauter jusqu’ร  ce que l’oignon soit tendre et translucide, environ 5-6 minutes. Ajouter la purรฉe de piments et tomates, le reste des tomates broyรฉes, le sel, le Tabasco, le bรขton de cannelle, l’origan sรฉchรฉ, et deux tasses d’eau. Porter ร  รฉbullition, rรฉduire le feu, couvrir, et cuire, en brassant occasionnellement, pendant 30 minutes.

Une fois les haricots cuits:

Incorporer les haricots au chili et continuer de cuire, ร  couvert et en brassant occasionnellement, pendant 30 minutes de plus. Ajouter le chocolat et continuer de cuire, ร  dรฉcouvert cette fois, pour 30 minutes de plus. Goรปter et ajuster les assaisonnements. Servir avec de la crรจme sรปre ร  base de noix de cajou, de la coriandre fraรฎche, et des quartiers de lime.

Wild Rice, Italian Sausage, and Black Bean Stew

Wild Rice, Italian Sausage, and Black Bean Stew
Wild Rice, Italian Sausage, and Black Bean Stew

This Wild Rice, Italian Sausage, and Black Bean Stew recipe is one I often come back to. It is always unique, because it changes with the seasons, but it is also unfussy and delicious. I use wild rice for the protein content, and spigarello, because I love the texture of those perfect leaves that taste like a cross between broccoli and kale. I had some black turtle beans in the fridge that were cooked the night before, but garbanzo would be just great here. On the day of the picture, I had spotted the first asparagus of the season at the market, so obviously these ended up in here. Let your imagination and the seasons guide you.

Lentil, Bean and Mushroom Burger Patty

Lentil, Bean and Mushroom Burger Patty
Lentil, Bean and Mushroom Burger Patty

This is the best Lentil, Bean and Mushroom Burger Patty you’ll ever make. Dressed with sun-dried tomato spread, sautรฉed onions and mushrooms, red cabbage slaw, and spicy mayo, you’ll feel like you’re eating out.

I’ve been attempting to make a perfect plant-based burger for months. I tried doing it with chickpeas, quinoa, beans, tofu, sweet potato, and I finally feel like this is it! I was actually struggling with two things: the patties kept crumbling, and I felt like the flavor profile was off. Well, not anymore. This burger nails it and is pretty easy to make, compared to other concoctions I’ve tested.

But my friend Cat shared a secret with me: The best way to make the burger stick together perfectly and not crumble is to make it the day before and reheat it in the oven or lightly sautรฉ in a pan the following day. It really makes a difference.

Lentil, Bean and Mushroom Burger Patty

  • Author: Karine K
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can beans (I used pinto, but you can use any other variety you like), rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus 1 teaspoon, divided
  • 3ย large onions,ย thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, chopped roughly
  • 1 cup brown or white mushrooms, chopped
  • 23 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 23 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 cup lentils, rinsed and drained
  • 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 green onion, minced
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, while stirring, until golden and caramelized, about 7-8 minutes. Take out about 3/4 of the mixture and set aside for later, to dress the burgers. Keep the rest in the pan.

In the same pan, and to the rest of the onions, add 1 teaspoon olive oil and the mushrooms along with the thyme and rosemary sprigs. Sautรฉ until golden, about 5-6 minutes. Then add the lentils, 2 cups of water, and 1/2 of the chopped parsley. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cook until tender, about 20-30 minutes. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper.

Preheat the oven to 375หš. Soak the chia seeds in enough water just to cover, and let rest 10 minutes. Once the lentils are cooked, discard the thyme and rosemary sprigs, drain and transfer to a bowl. Add the beans, the smoked paprika, the soaked chia seeds, the second half of the chopped parsley, the green onion, and flour. With an immersion blender or with a potato masher, blend until you have a good patty consistency. Add sea salt and pepper to taste. Assemble patties and place them on a parchment-covered sheet pan. Place in the oven and cook for 30-35 minutes, turning them half way.

Once cooked, you’re ready to assemble the burgers as you like. Don’t forget to add the caramelized ย onions. I highly recommend using the spicy mayo, the sun-dried tomato spread and the red cabbage slaw, or the fabulous combination of smoked coconut bacon and sliced avocado. Bon appรฉtit!

Autumn Ital Stew

Autumn Ital Stew
Autumn Ital Stew

People who know me, know that I hold a very special place in my heart for Jamaica. I love, amongst many things, the people, the culture, and the food. I head to Jamaica every opportunity I get, and over the last few years, I have explored more of the Ital vegetarian side of the food and lifestyle of the island.

Ital is a Rastafari term meaning vital, where the V is replaced by the capital I. This is done to many words in Iyaric (a name given to the language), to signify the unity of the speaker with nature and the Almighty. With a completely Ital diet, you increase your Livity, or life energy. There are many spiritual concepts associated with Ital and Rastafari, but for the purpose of this Autumn Ital Stew recipe, Ital signifies that no processed, chemically-altered foods have been used. All food items found here can be found in nature, and no salt has been used either. This is a great recipe to start applying the concept of Ital, and you’ll want to explore more of the ways Ital food can be prepared once you taste how good this stew is. Ites!

If you make this recipe, I’d love to see it. Please tag @LivityGardens on Instagram and use the hashtag #LivityGardens.

Ragoรปt Ital automnal

Pour ceux qui me connaissent assez bien, la Jamaรฏque tient une place bien spรฉciale dans mon coeur. J’adore, entre autres,ย  les gens, la culture, et la nourriture. Je m’y rends le plus souvent possible, et depuis les deux derniรจres annรฉes, j’explore la cuisine vรฉgรฉtarienne Ital ainsi que le mode de vie qui s’y rattache.

Ital est un mot d’origine Rastafari tirรฉ du mot vital, oรน on a remplacรฉ la premiรจre lettre par le I majuscule. Plusieurs mots bรฉnรฉficient de cette modification dans le language Iyaric, ce qui implique l’union entre celui qui parle avec la nature et la conscience tout-puissante. Avec une diรจte Ital, on augmente la vie, ou รฉnergie vitale. Il y a plusieurs concepts spirituels associรฉs avec un mode de vie Ital et Rastafari, mais pour le but de cette recette, le mot Ital signifie qu’aucun produit chimique ou altรฉrรฉ n’a รฉtรฉ utilisรฉ. On retrouve donc un ragoรปt des plus sains aux arรดmes de Jamaรฏque.ย

Farro and Bean Bowl with Maple-Dijon Vinaigrette

Farro and Bean Bowl with Maple-Dijon Vinaigrette
Farro and Bean Bowl with Maple-Dijon Vinaigrette

It might still be 100 degrees in sunny Arizona, but that doesn’t prevent me from developing fall-flavored recipes for you folks in the northern states. This Farro and Bean Bowl with Maple-Dijon Vinaigrette is all you can ask for on a cool fall night. It can be served warm or at room temperature, it is sweet and savory, and packs a great amount of protein and nutrients. This bowl requires few ingredients (which can be adapted to the seasons) and the vinaigrette is finger-licking-good. The kids asked for seconds on this one, and that makes it always a winner. Again I had Chinese long beans, which are in season now in Arizona, but feel free to use regular green beans or even French beans for your farro bowl.
