Classic Refried Black Beans – a versatile plant-based staple to enjoy with tacos, burritos, nachos, or simply with a side of rice. Great to have in the freezer for an easy mid-week meal.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What's not to love about beans? Hearty, filling, fibre and protein rich, tasty and cheap to buy! <\/p>\n [bctt tweet=\"Classic Refried Black Beans - a versatile plant-based staple. Protein and fibre rich. Recipe here!\" username=\"laurenglucina\"]<\/p>\n They also have a low glycemic index of 30, meaning they are digested and absorbed at a slower rate, producing only a gradual rise in blood sugar and insulin yet giving a sustained boost of energy.<\/p>\n Generally speaking the bioavailability of the minerals in legumes (particularly, iron and zinc) is poor due to the presence of phytates, which is why I recommend soaking them for a period in water, before cooking from scratch – as in this recipe.<\/p>\n In fact, cooking from scratch is far superior in taste than opting for canned, and if you add a decent amount of good old garlic and onion to the pot while it simmers away, you’ll be treated to a house full of delicious smells.<\/p>\n This recipe will make about 5 cups of cooked beans. Freeze what you don’t use for an easy mid-week meal, and enjoy with homemade tacos<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you make and enjoy this recipe, please leave a rating below.
