As the popularity of plant-based diets has risen in recent years, so too has the profile of beans. Long designated as an addon or last resort, beans are one of the easiest ways to add bulk to a plant-based meal plan. So we were thrilled to find the new cookbook Bangin' Beans, which proves just how delicious canned beans can be. "Beans make such great vehicles for flavor and are a brilliant way to add protein to plant-based meals without breaking the bank," says author Sarah Doig. They're also incredibly versatile, able to serve as the centerpiece of a meal or blended in as part of the whole. Try one of these tasty recipes tonight!
