I've just put a Spicy Beanburger recipe on here: http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...ans_26962.html

I must have somehow missed that thread - just printed off loads to have a go at. I haven't got beans on my list of growing this year (except for runners, broads and climbing) but now I have access to nanna's bit of garden I may have to grow some more to make these delicious sounding things.

Thanks

Jane, what do you call Climbing?
I think you might already be growing French beans

[janeyo]

Well last year I grew blue lake (I hope it's a climber, it climbed well enough!), but we ate them fresh off the plant or I froze them.
Can these be left to grow on and then dried?

I have been given some borlitti beans (sp?) so will def try them this year.
If I had to choose 3 varieties for drying whch should I pick?

I mean the ones that will be the most useful for veggie recipes, I guess.

[Two_Sheds]

Blue Lake and Borlotti are both French beans. Red kidney beans are French bean seeds.
They are both equally suitable for dried beans; as are all French beans. I don't notice a difference in flavour between any of them ... but they are different colours & sizes.

Have a scroll through my recipes, I mention particular varieties here and there, but they are interchangeable, really.

Enjoy!

Eat your fresh beans as usual, but then leave some on the plant for drying - to give you seeds for next year, and to eat as dried beans.

Thanks, I have printed them all off.

Might even persuade OH the staunch meat eater to try some of the veggie ones. he is generally surprised at how tasty they are as is normally convinced veggie food is bland!

We are having a go at the burgers at the weekend, if I can get to the shops with the snow about as we don't have all the ingredients (ie no beans!) Don't think baked beans in sauce would quite cut it lol

What would red kidney beans grow into if they aren't canned? (is that a daft question?!) Any particular bean?

[janeyo]

Maybe I will put some in nanna's garden so we don't eat them as as fresh ones, my littlew boy likes to pick pick pick lol.

Canadian Wonder is a classic red kidney bean. It is a dwarf/bush bean.

Why don't you buy a pack of dried kidney beans from the supermarket and grow some?

[janeyo]

I will. Will put them on shopping list for whenever it warms up enough to leave the house again.

Thanks

Sorry but have I missed something here. I thought the original question was for veggie burgers and I was looking as my DIL is a veggie so to show my 21st century man side I will cook her some veggie burgers. The plot is some what lost as we are saying use this bean or that bean and prepare them this way or that way and I find all good info but, where are the recipes? how do you put them together? what do you use to make them? Forgive me I am newto all this lets go and do it but am willing to have ago. Veggie burger made at home and dished up in hame made bread rolls this summer would be just great. Recipes please I am soaking up this info like a sponge.

[janeyo]

The recipe link is on twosheds first reply, bean recipes. The burger one is quite a way down that list.
