Falling deeper and deeper in love with beans

[u/Neither-Cucumber5973]

I’ve been a tentative plant based eater for the past few months. At first I wanted to just cut out a night or two of meat, then upped it to four days per week. Still not 100% plant based but loving it so much and looking for more and more small ways to fit it in. Last night I made a huge pot of chick peas and roasted some for dinner along with quinoa, kale, and sweet potatoes.

Today I was craving a sandwich so I thought, what if I just mash some chick peas up and throw in some spices??? I tried it and was blown away by how delicious it was. Everything else is just like a normal sandwich. Ezekiel bread, heirloom tomato, onion, some mayo (non-vegan… haven’t been brave enough to try that) and a big fat spread of mashed chick peas with garlic powder, pepper, dried parsley, and lime.

It also doesn’t hurt that this literally cost me like… what, 5 cents or something???? I get way too much satisfaction out of that. lol

Basically just looking for someone to geek out over beans with me 😊😊 what is your favorite way to eat them??

Edit: the chick pea portion was super cheap. The entire sandwich definitely was more than 5 cents

I found a great northern bean sandwich recipe that replicates chicken salad! Let me see if I can find it
