Check out their instagram pages for more BEANSPO + delicious recipes.
Chicken, Leek + Butter Bean Traybake
Anna is a busy mum of 3 AND author of Anna's Family Kitchen! Check out her page for TONS of simple family meals.
"A throwback to one of my most popular traybakes. It’s a great easy family dinner or if you’re feeding a crowd you can just double up on everything. You can serve it with a green veg or mash if you want a heartier dinner. Or add some chopped potatoes to the tray with everything else."
Black Bean Chilli
"I do love a Chilli! This has to be the simplest and quickest Chilli recipe you’ll ever make. With just 7 ingredients it’s ready in less than 30 minutes, is packed with goodness and it’s Vegan. It’s great on top of rice with avocado and a squeeze of lime but if you want a change from rice, try it on top of a baked potato or it works really well served on a tortilla and topped with a poached egg (obvs that isn’t a vegan option!)"
White Bean + Leek Soup
Claire Thompson is a chef & author. Her Veggie Family Cookbook is out June, and you can listen to her '5 O’ CLOCK APRON PODCAST' where she 'chop & chats' in other peoples kitchens!
"With x 2 veggie children, beans, in particular, any white bean is a favourite & easy protein source for them. My meat eating middle daughter will also love this. Leeks are perfectly in season at the moment & I love their delicate, sweet flavour. This isn’t really even a recipe, it’s more a process of making a really delicious soup. If you prefer to use kale, go for it, likewise you could also add carrots in the mix, what I’m showing you here is how to make a well flavoured soup with nice crunchy topping that will make every last spoonful as interesting & delicious as the first."
Pasta e Ceci (Pasta + Chickpeas)
"I am certain there as many different recipes for this classic Italian dish as there are brands of pasta in all of Italy. Having a quick cupboard sort through last night I counted x4 packets of dried lasagne. I resolved last night to use at least x1 packet in today’s reel & it sure as hell wasn’t going to be in a lasagne (too much to do today to give that proper care & attention). This recipe is delicious (I’ve just had some for lunch), I’ve mentioned before, Wednesdays are a juggle with everyone eating at different times, reheated gently, perhaps with a slosh more water, this will do a grand job of feeding everyone when they all tumble in."
Smokey Beans + Sausages
Grace Mortimer is a Sunday Times Bestselling Author, and her book 'My First Meals' is out now! She is also the founder of @swapsuk.
"I served this over a bed of couscous with a dollop of yoghurt, some parsley, almond flakes and a squeeze of lime but it would be delicious served with a baked potato or simply on toast!"
Creamy Lemon Butter Bean Orzo
"I added the remaining lemon zest to my portion but I know it can be quite bitter so that’s a personal preference and I cut the remaining half a lemon into wedges and served them on the side for people to add their own.
I went for this combination because it’s very budget friendly and reminds me of summer"
