Grain & Bean Dishes

There can’t be a living soul in the United States who hasn’t heard about the healthful properties of grains and legumes and about how they should feature more prominently in everyone’s diet. But for many these delightful foods are still considered drab and boring. At one time, I would have agreed, but my agreement would have come from ignorance.

Now, though, thanks to my former place of work, a corporate dining room where the chairman of the board of the corporation is a vegetarian who must eat food that is low in fat and cholesterol-free, I’ve discovered how wrong I was. In fact, healthy complementary proteins are truly delicious, and each variety of grain or legume has a distinctive individual taste.
