Hello, everyone. This is one of the three bean-themed recipes I made when we had our glut of beans. I really wanted to post it since I know next year, when we are in bean glut, I will have no idea where to find it. One of the other recipes is on a similar vein but it has more ingredients. This one is dead simple and tasted just as good.
It certainly feels like I have been away. I have definitely been away from both this blog and Bridgetown. I hadn’t been here for ages.
As you know, I had been in Perth cleaning and gardening and packing. The house now looks so good it was very hard to sign the management authority – there were even a few tears.

It is summer-glut time and this year it is beans, beans and more beans. I didn’t have many last year but, this year, it is beans galore and they all seem to have come at once. Off to Eat Your Books I went and typed “beans”! I wanted either a pasta dish or a salad. I found quite a few recipes worth trying, including this one. It was a real jackpot. It is dead easy to make, a meal in itself and very tasty. We have already had it twice this summer.
Another quickie, but goodie, for a week night. Continue reading
