Bean there done that!

In this season of New Year's resolutions I have decided to give myself a goal that is both healthy, interesting and fun: make some type of beans every week for the year 2012. This will be 52 new kinds of beans/bean dishes. I'm embracing the entire legume family and intend to try lentils, dried beans, canned beans, green beans, you name it! Now I imagine I"ll end up repeating a few things I already have in my repertoire, but one has to start somewhere. I'm naming my goal

BEAN THERE DONE THAT

yea, you can groan now. At any rate, my food blog kind of died with the bee blog start up but I have decided to resurrect it for this project. Bean number 1 is on the stove right now, here's preview:

Name: Fava Beans
source: Whole Foods bulk bin (dried)
cost: $2.69/lb
cooking method: standard soak and boil
final dish: Egyptian style with olive oil, lemon and parsley on top.

When they're done I'll give them a full rating.
