OK, not a fruit.
Tonight's menu features the amazing Kidney Bean. I always buy italian canned beans as they have a far richer red colour, and this, for some reason, seems an important thing to me. I am one who eats with her eyes.
Nachos is a very good way to eat Kidney Beans. I make a chilli with kitchen-sink ingredients (i.e. everything but), buy some good organic corn chips and whip up a simple Guaca to top it off. I don't usually bother with vegan cheese or cheese sauce, 'cos frankly, I can't be stuffed.le humble Kidney Bean (1 cup) provides you with 177% RDI of molybdenum (lovely little molecule that helps to detocify sulfites), 57.3% RDI folate, 56.3% RDI dietary fibre, as well as manganese, iron, protein, phosphorus, copper, magnesium, potassium, thiamin and Vitamin K.
If you're confused by all this nutrirional hoo-hah, I'll break it down for you; Folate makes you green and leafy, iron makes you into an iron-man, protein is very very good for you, phosphorus makes you glow in the dark, copper makes lovely bracelets and pots, magnesium is available at health-food stores in little pills, potassium is also found in bananas, thiamin is in nutri-grain and Vitmain K is the creative-letter vitamin that they created when they got sick of naming them all B-something or other. You can get all these marvellous benefits from eating my nachos. If I'm in a good mood, you may also avoid gaining 300kgs.
Nachos are also a very very fine meal idea for , let's say, General medical interns in towns west of Lithgow. Put in lots of Chilli though. It ain't nachos if you don't sweat.
These recipes might also be good for writers in submarines.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Chilli is very necessary in sub-zero environs, though it may be difficult to source a ripe avocado...
ReplyDeleteAah! On recipe overload! I'll have to make a few trips to Woolies...
