Italy actually grows and eats A LOT of beans (some varieties are only regional) so this totally fits into what I think about Italian cuisine! Also, butter beans are just so amazing in terms of texture and taste this dish must be awesome!
a tip to save money while making your food taste better: dont use olive oil for sautéing. heat destroys its flavour so you may aswell use a small amount of a cheap neutral oil to be your thermal interface for sautéing, and add your expensive EVOO at the end for flavour. it will taste better and you'll need less oil to get that flavour so can save some calories too. never cook olive oil if you can get away with adding it at the end instead.
I used to do that the first years I lived on my own since EVOO is so expensive, and neutral veg oil is nearly free in comparison. I never tasted any difference and saved money on Olive Oil. Truthfully, half the time the Olive Oil was a roommate's so I'd use a tiny bit at the end for that EVOO flavor while not using so much they'd notice it was gone. haha. I will bring this back, thank you !

Thank you. His link only took me to his site, not the recipe. His site, like most has so many ads that it's very difficult to navigate and read on a phone.
@@VintageVegans Absolutely. It's not just his site, it's most sites. These sites are loaded with so many ads that one can't even see a recipe or read an article because the ads cover most of the screen. I have people I follow and subscribe to that I can't see anything but ads on their sites.
Wow, some people are really comin for you with this recipe today! I don’t know why! The level of creativity this man has with food is insane! He’s made it an art form. Anybody can use pasta and sauce, I’m glad you’re not just anybody!
I’m loving these quick canned beans + sauce + starch recipes lately. This and the general tso’s chickpeas are 100% getting added to my rotation! Easy healthy plant based eating at its finest. More please!!!
I'm on a strict budget so I buy a pack of dried beans and soak 125 ml dried beans in water & baking soda (to de-gas the beans) overnight. The beans swell up quite significantly. One could get quite a few "tins" of beans from one pack of dry beans. Ditto with any other beans. At the moment I have dried chick peas, butter & black beans in my pantry. Also yellow, red, brown & green lentils. Pasta has got quite expensive in my country (they're imported) so substituting pasta with beans is a neat idea - would in work in a "lasagna"? I love pasta although I love pizza more - which is easy to make from scratch (more budget friendly). I've seen a nice recipe for potato gnocci which I also want to try. I use butter beans to make bread spread & mayonnaise. You can also use chickpeas but these are VERY high in fibre so you can get an upset tummy from too much chickpeas.
Very true. If one has the time and plans ahead, dried beans are the way to go. I do mine with a boiling water 2hr soak if I'm pressed for time and it works well for me. I would suggest if you have the freezer space to make a double batch or more and freeze them. If you usually cook them in an excess of water you'll conserve energy and cost by making a larger batch less often and then you have them at the ready for last-minute dishes. I usually cook a full pound of dried beans at a time.
@@brianjones7660 if you eat eggs, my go-to is a simple black beans+egg+oil+lemon salad. If not, I'd try to put them in a stew, as you would with lentils
This is such a great idea! My dad has type 1 diabetes so beans are safe but not bread, rice or pasta. He loves my eggplant lasagne with tofu ricotta, but making it without pasta leaves you wanting 3rds to feel full. I should make it again, but add in these beans so we can enjoy it together again. He isn't vegan like me, but good food is good food and not being able to have rice or pasta with him has made me feel really limited on what we could share together at meal time.
I love butter beans/limas and their close cousins, runners, favas, and gigantes. Truly endless possibilities with such a gorgeous meaty bite! Ful Mudammas is one of the most GOATed breakfasts/brunches/snacks in the levant.
I was quite late to the 'Marry Me" recipes. The first I tried was Marry Me Butter beans. So, savory and delightful. I used soaked, dried because the canned usually fall apart too easily.
That looks really yummy and I love butter beans in a dish. To be honest, my mind went straight to adding them to my next pasta dish (which I have never done before).
I've been making something similar ever since I first saw Huevos rancheros being made. Even if I didn't have any huevos I'd throw in a tin of beans into chopped onions, garlic and tomatoes. Makes a great breakfast or if you make enough, lunch to
Nice! Italians cuisine uses legumes quite a lot esp. chickpeas which they had even in the days of Julius Cesar and Cicero (his name literallly means chickpea) 😊 You're right to have bread with it bec. grains (rice, wheat,quinoa) are best pair with beans to make complete protein. Buon Apetito! ❤
I do. I also have a ton of Fava beans this year. Had surgery. No garden. Used them as a cover crop as a nitrogen fixer. They did amazing. Paid zero attention to them, got about 30lbs.
@@christines2787 I'm hoping to get close that much beans this year. With what I've harvested today I have about 3.5kg, or about 8lbs. And it should be possible to harvest for about a month more. I had a small muscular back injury this spring, and working in the garden actually helped me a lot.
@@fabriziob969 I made this for dinner tonight. I changed the recipe to fit my taste and wich veggies I have available. I used onion, garlic, a very small stalk of celery, beef tomatos and a few cherry tomatos, fresh fava beans, a lemon drop chili, basil, salt, black pepper, cubeb pepper and some none dairy cream. All the veggies are home grown apart from the garlic and some of the onion. I used much more onion than in the video. I had som focaccia with it. Before I tasted it I was a bit afraid of the taste of the beans beeing lost in all the other veggies, but after eating it I think the taste of the fresh fava beans actually complemented the rest of the dish.
My question is not related to this recipe, but what can you use as a replacement for textured soy protein? I've never been someone who ate processed foods and texture vegetable protein has such a processed taste I feel like it ruins my foods :(
I'm not being flippant but it depends. Tofu is minimally processed and can even be made at home if you want to control the ingredients even more. He has many videos on using tofu where you'd use TVP. King oyster mushrooms are a good texture alternative, so are button mushrooms. As we've seen here beans and chickpeas work. So it depends on the recipe and what you want the final outcome to be. Lentils are good for chili as are sturdier grains.
@@dianeladico1769 yeah tofu and mushrooms here are way more expensive than meat, it sucks :( and you can’t even find more than 2 or 3 types of mushrooms. I will keep trying with different things I guess
Did you change your microphone/audio setup recently? I'm hearing a noticeable lisp with words that start with "s" that I never heard in your previous videos.
I am super happy that you are using a wooden spatula instead of plastic. BUT there are 3 more things I caught you doing healthwise that are problematic in this video. 1) Gas is no longer deemed healthy - just look at all the countless articles on this - you need to switch over to induction - you get added temperature control - and the burners only cost about $100. 2) unfortunately the acidity of tomato sauce in cans is a problem - The resin lining of tin cans contains bisphenol-A (BPA), a synthetic estrogen that can leach into food due to the acidity of tomatoes - so instead you need either fresh or just more simply find them in glass - sauces in glass and harder to find tomatoes in glass. And lastly this one is more of a half point 3) Olive oil ( and even more so coconut oil btw too) can potentially release toxic chemicals when you stir fry or fry with it because of lower flash point. If you want the flavor, you can add it at the end. Instead best use grapeseed oil to cook with.
@@renbell9499oh THAT’S what that was! Lol, I was gonna ask what’s with the sudden lisp?? EDIT: actually, watching it again, I’m not 100% positive he *doesn’t* have a sudden lisp. Bad audio ducking doesn’t make people’s S’s sound like TH’s, lol.
Did he ever say it wasn't? Saying it would change the way you think of Italian food doesn't mean it'll make you totally cut pasta out of your diet in favor of beans. It just means you might just see them as an option now in dishes you normally wouldn't :)
