In particular, pulses are great for providing some substance and protein to plant-based meals. And, for those omnivores amongst us, this doesn\u2019t mean meat doesn\u2019t exist, but that\u2019s not to say you can\u2019t enjoy (or try) a bean burger or some other leguminous treat every now and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My wife Emma and I have been vegans for nearly a decade now. Luckily, we came to the practice with a penchant for beans and rice. I, being from Louisiana, grew up with a myriad of this particular combination. And, having lived in Central America for several years, Emma also developed a taste for it. A pot of beans, a pot of rice, and some fresh vegetables has long served us as an ample and nutritious meal. Sometimes the combo comes out as soup, sometimes the items are plated separately, or sometimes the beans may become more sauce-like to be doled out over the rice. We might use Cajun seasonings, Indian spices, Middle Eastern flavours, Mexican palettes, or even Italian herbs. The trio has served us well for many years and has amazingly provided us with plenty of variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, of late, we\u2019ve been experimenting more. We\u2019ve been learning to branch out, converting our beans and peas into new creations, things that have opened our menu. It\u2019s been especially satisfying as summer has kicked in, and the heat and humidity has become overbearing, an atmosphere in which a hot plate of beans and rice often doesn\u2019t sound all that appealing. For those interested\u2014and if you aren\u2019t that\u2019s fine, no need to continue reading\u2014I\u2019ve compiled some of the new (and old) ideas we\u2019ve been kicking around this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Protein for the Plant-Based Permaculturalist A Parade of Pulses Whether plant-based eating (veganism) is the guiding force behind your diet, or you simply enjoy having plant-based dishes just because plants taste good, there is something to be gained from experimenting with plant foods.
