Feuerbohnen & Kichererbsen

Fire beans and chickpeas. The best recipes for beans, peas, lentils, and more from Germany and the Mediterranean region, the Middle East, the Far East, as well as North and South America. Cooking with legumes is a global practice, and many dishes evoke a longing for distant lands and the next vacation! The recipe list is long and tempting: from appetizers like Abelodolmádes (vine leaves stuffed with lentils), to purées and creams such as Frijoles negros batidos (black bean cream) or hummus (chickpea purée), to salads like Three Bean Salad and Salada de grao de bico con bacalhau (chickpea salad with cod), snacks like Lentilles aux tomates (lentils with tomatoes), and main courses with meat, such as Cassoulet (the famous French stew from the Midi), with fish, or even vegetarian options like Boeh Soehg DuBu Tsoen (tofu and mushroom stir-fry).
