I Need a Better Bean (Rerun)

Bon Appétit
About this episode

Caller Teddy has been vegan for a few years. But while she’s confident in her chickpea and lentil skills, bean mastery has eluded her. And, to be fair, the questions are big: canned or dried? What type of bean works best for which application? Is a big pot of brothy beans enough for a meal, or does it need to be doctored? Chris taps Justine Doiron (aka @Justine_Snacks), bean enthusiast, to help Teddy get hip to the humble bean.


Recipes mentioned:

Brothy Pasta with Chickpeas

Gochujang Brothy Beans

Breaded Beans

Brothy Beans

Pasta e Fagioli with Escarole
