Tepary beans have a flavor and texture that is like a cross between kidneys, lentils, and pintos. They are creamier, nuttier, easier to digest, and higher in protein than all three. Some locals refer to them as “the creamy beans”.
A colcannon inspired by the readily available winter vegetables in our local food shed and my family. A little Vietnamese. A little Irish. I have been meaning to give this a go for quite some time and I am so glad I finally did. It has all the veggies, all the flavors, texture, and it's a spicy umami bomb. It's vegan and delicious served on its own or served with "wheat meat" sausages or a big heap of steamed Chinese broccoli or broccoli rabe. It is wonderful with seared fish. Serves two as a main, four as a hearty side dish.
