Honolulu Skillet Beans

"This is based on a recipe in the Moosewood 'Cooks at Home' cookbook which I absolutely adore. Use a variety of beans for a colourful effect. I have used blackeyed peas which worked really well."

  1. Very good ! i didn't have any white vinegar so i used balsamic and peanut oil instead of dark sesame, we loved those beans ! next time i'll add more onions, 1 or 2.Thank you very much. Elodie.
     
  2. I made this tonight as a side dish for my mother's birthday dinner. It was fabulous--so much so, that I couldn't wait to post a review! The sauce has the perfect mix of sweet and spicy flavors. I used canellini, pinto, black, and black-eyed peas--all which make for a beautiful dish. Thanks so much!
     
  3. Outstanding beans. Just a little sweetness to balance the heat (I used more Tabasco than called for). Made this with one 15oz can each of kidney, black and navy beans along with fresh pineapple. I made these one day ahead and they were just as good on day two. Just reheat.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving. I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start. Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog! Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years! I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
