Boiled

Similarly, most dishes can be thought of as an equation: This + this + this = delicious. What this is changes with the seasons or what you have on hand. For me, that Flavor Formula is: Start with 2 cups [400 g] of boiled beans (either warm or cool, up to you) + a vegetable (as much as you want) + fat (because it makes it satisfying and most micronutrients are fat-soluble, so it helps your body absorb them better) + an acidic relish or dressing + something crunchy for texture = the hearty bean salad of your dreams. The Flavor Formula coming up gives some suggestions, but there’s no need to follow to the letter. Cook beyond the page and come up with your own combinations.
