If you like Mediterranean food, this is a great take on a classic. A great blend of beans meets tantalizing spices, all formed into a beautiful ball that is fried to a golden brown. A delight to eat with the freshness of the cucumber sauce and the richness of the tahini sauce which go beautifully with a nice warm pita and some dressed tomatoes.

Salty prosciutto, savoury roasted vegetables, fresh mozzarella and a black bean tapenade is pressed between whole grain rye bread for a delicious lunch or dinner.

Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce make a spicy base for this festive Mexican black bean soup. Loaded with corn, black beans, cooked brown rice and generously topped with diced tomatoes, red onion, sliced avocado, sour cream and, or course, cilantro.

These simple and hearty “meat”balls are made with Romano beans and umami-rich mushrooms. Featuring classic Italian flavours that you have come to love in a traditional meatball.
