If you're like me you miss your baked beans when you have a BBQ . Hard beans are where the plant stores its "sugars" AKA Carbs, and that's why hard beans are off the menu. BUT... you can replace those starchy hard beans with black soy beans and get that great shot of bean protein and flavor without the carbs! Here's my recipe for baked bans that will rival any you've ever had
The inspiration for this recipe came from the wonderful Cuban black bean recipes from the Florida Keys that I made for years with pork dishes.
