i made my weekly batch of beans and this time i went with pinto beans, which i havent made before, and green chilis. I opted to skip any meat as I’m short on cash (and also havent found things like TVP at my local grocers yet). They turned out ok, like they dont taste bad, but theyre missing something and I dont know what. The word I keep thinking of is bass but i dont really know what i mean by that foodwise. Umami?? How do I add more bass to my beans? mushrooms?
ingredients i used:
pinto beans
green chilis + onion + garlic
oregano, cumin, some chili powder, garlic powder, s&p
cooked in faux-chicken stock
If you want to keep your beans vegan make sure you use worcestershire that’s vegan. Some brands aren’t.
Good point, I don’t think any brands of Worcestershire sauce are vegan, but there are vegan equivalents like Maggi seasoning sauce. Maggi’s also gluten free, which Worcestershire sauce isn’t.
Maybe that’s true. If you want to label it Worcestershire I guess there’s a specific list of ingredients.
