| Dried Beans Recipes |
In the previous post we were talking about resistant starch and how it helps you lose weight. In this post I will share with you two Turkish recipes (based on dried beans) that use the resistant starch 'technique'.
DRIED BEANS SALAD WITH OLIVE OIL
2 glasses dried beans
2 carrots
1 celery root
2 onions
1 clove garlic
1/2 spoon thick tomato paste
three spoons chopped fresh parsley
1/3 spoon sugar
1/4 spoon salt
EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
1. Wash the beans and let them soak in cold water from evening till morning (or use sieved canned beans if not). The next morning wash them again and boil them in fresh water until they are half boiled.
(I am sure you are familiar with the unpleasant results of eating beans. This process removes the 'unpleasant results' totally.)
2. Cut in small cubes the carrots, celery, onion and garlic;
3. Add them to a pot with a few spoons of olive oil; mix until they turn gold and carrots change a little their color;
4. Add the tomato paste and mix some more;
5. Add the beans (without the water in which they previously boiled), add sugar and salt, and 1.5-2 glasses of water. Cook on low fire. Cover with a lid later, while cooking.
6. When cooked, allow it to cool by partially uncovering the pot.
7. Remove to another platter and decorate with parsley.
Chill in the fridge.
Optional: you can add lemon juice to the salad. Try separately before trying on all your food.
DRIED BEANS SALAD WITH SOYA SAUCE
4 servings, 200 calories
Source: Sofra Magazine
400 g (14.10 oz.) dried beans
6 green onion
2 small spoons lemon juice
2 small spoons soya sauce
3 spoons EVOO
black pepper, salt, paprika
1. Wash the beans and let them soak in cold water from evening till morning (or use sieved canned beans if not). The next morning wash them again and boil them in fresh water until they have softened. You should add enough water to cover the beans, plus 1/2 glass more. If the beans need more water while boiling, you can add extra water but make sure it is hot water, not cold.
2. Add to a another pot with olive oil the chopped green onions, the lemon juice and the soya sauce. Mix for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the beans with the water in which they have boiled, salt, and black pepper.
4. Boil on low fire for 10-15 minutes.
Serve cold.Labels: dried_beans, recipe, resistant, salad, starch |

Hi,
I'm not overweight yet, but I'm getting there. I just finished a tub of ice cream by myself. That was diiner. The rest of the day i had 4-5 whole wheat breads with Nutella spread. I know it's disgusting but I don't know how to stop myself. I just ran for 20 mins after I had the ice cream, but I feel jittery and ill. How bad is this diet? Am I destined to be fat if I continue this? Maybe it would help to know that I just got my periods. While I was running, in fact. Is this just hormones demanding sugar or am I going crazy?
