The Food Lab Lite: Butter Beans with Kale and Eggs
Nothing goes with pork like beans. The greatest pork and bean dish I've ever had was in Toledo, Spain, where suckling pigs roasted in a wood-fired oven were served alongside a large cazuela filled with judias—a fat, white kidney-shaped relative of the butter bean or lima bean—cooked into a porky, tomatoey stew. Large and robust, they had a perfectly creamy texture and deeply porky flavor. Definitely something worth replicating at home.Sunday Supper: Cassoulet
In its simplest form, cassoulet is a casserole of beans and pork (usually sausage) cooked slowly with aromatics. In its highest form it can contain wine, bacon and confit of pork, duck and even goose. To me, the fact that an excellent cassoulet can be made out of minimal ingredients is what makes this noble dish a necessary part of any cook's repertoire.Sunday Supper: Maple Baked Beans
Having grown up in a cold, maple-filled part of the world, my love of baked beans runs hard and deep. There is nothing like getting back from snowshoeing to the beer store to a house that is filled with the aroma of sweet, salty, fatty baked beans. As with many recipes, the secret ingredient to world changing baked beans is pork.Fast Food: Wendy's Chili
Wendy's chili isn't much to look at, but it tastes leagues better than Hormel. It's much thinner, but the sparse beef is augmented by plenty of small red kidney beans and pinky-gray pinto beans, and there are cursory bits of tomato skin, onion and, in a huh?-but-harmless touch, celery.In a Pickle: Pickled Chinese Long Beans
Chinese long beans make excellent pickles. Though I've been making dilly beans out of conventional green beans for years, these are different. The beans are tightly spiraled into the jar so that they hugged the glass. In the center of the jar were a few broken bits of beans nudged up against a collection of cracked garlic cloves, wintry spices and pungent, puckery brine. All markers of a perfect pickle.Market Scene: Late Summer Berries and Beans in Duvall, WA
Despite the late summer arrival of heat-wilted afternoons, the chill of the evening skies and whispering hints of autumn are signs that the farmers' markets in the Northwest are coming to a close. So to finish out my own season for Market Scene out in Washington state, what better way to bid farewell to summer than from my own backyard—welcome to Duvall, just northeast of Seattle. Won't you visit for a final stroll through our little market?How to Make Feijoada, the Brazilian Stew of Pork and Beans
Pork and beans go together like, well pork and beans. Enough so that pretty much every bean-and-pork-eating culture in the world has figured out some way to put them together. Lentilles aux lardons, garbanzos con chorizo, sweet Okinawan pork belly cooked with beans, cassoulet, Boston baked beans, even good old beanie-wienies. Like all good pork and bean dishes, feijoada is a dish of economy, intended to offer complete nutrition and great flavor with a minimal amount of expensive protein. Indeed, it's made with all the parts of the pig or cow that most people don't eat.In Season: Dried Beans
Okay, dried beans aren't "in season"—they're always available and always the same. But this is really the season for them. As the winter months drag on, I just want to curl up on a couch with a bowl of chili that's filled with a lot of beans—not beans that come out of a can, but beans that were soaked overnight. Dried beans are best when we're hibernating. The beans swell and swell and swell as they stay submerged in water, and then they become soft after they're cooked.Game Day Recipe Roundup: Chili
If you're having a bunch of people over to watch the game, nothing's easier and more satisfying than a big pot of chili. Whether you're going with ground beef, turkey, or a vegetarian version with just beans, we have all the recipes here. Some of them call for a drizzle of beer, others are enhanced by ground coffee beans, a splash of bourbon, and even anchovy filets. What are your special chili ingredients?Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
