Black Bean Recipes + Pinto Beans, Green Beans - Even White or Pink ones!
Black bean recipes or green bean recipes might seem just an easy and, usually, quick side dish; just kind of a "ho-hum" part of a meal. Well, yes to "easy" and yes to "quick" but a big "NO!" to “ho-hum”. At least, the exciting ones on this page.
And when I say these little things can be "exciting" I don’t mean just “hot” or “spicy”.
I mean, these bean dishes will get plenty of “Wow!s" from your lucky eaters because they're not "just beans". These recipes are not "pour on a can of condensed soup"; they're unique combinations, especially cooked by you in your kitchen.
Bean recipes are loaded with vitamins, minerals and fiber,too. Sure, they’re a cheap side dish that most people – even some kids – generally like. But, hey, they usually don't get the respect they deserve, poor things.
But with side dishes like “Can-Can Black Bean Soup” or “Mexican-Picnic Baked Beans” that are fun to make as well as - you guessed it - quick and easy, you'll need a pretty impressive entree or these beans might steal the show.

Green Beans with Honey Tahine Glaze
Makes 4 servings
Green beans are best when other flavors like o,j,,garlic & ginger get involved; at least that's what I think.
1 lb trimmed green beans
1 Tbsp olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp each tahini (sesame paste) & honey
1 each Tamari or soy sauce & minced garlic
2 tsp orange juice
1 tsp finely grated ginger
Preheat oven to 425F. Spread beans in a 9x13-inch baking dish; drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to coat beans evenly. Roast for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together the tahini, honey, tamari, garlic, orange juice, and ginger in a small bowl.
Remove beans from oven. Pour honey-tahini mixture over beans and toss to coat evenly. Return beans to oven and roast for 10-12 additional minutes, until brown and starting to shrivel.
Transfer to serving plate and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper to taste.
