tealinI have inadvertently created a thing. It's vegan, low-carb, and relatively cheap, so if you're into that sort of thing, here is a highly unscientific recipe:
1 celeriac
1 can of black beans*
salt
pepper
oil
½ tsp ground coriander
½ tsp ground cinnamon
pinch of thyme
2 bay leaves
iceberg lettuce
Cut your celeriac up into "fries", toss with oil and salt, and roast in the morning when your kitchen is cool, for about an hour at errrIdunno about 325°F? (Gas Mark 4 for me, but at the top of the oven so it was prolly more like 7.) Until it's cooked, anyway, and the corners are going brown – about an hour. Take it out and let it cool down.
Put the beans with their liquid in a small saucepan. Add the bay leaves, about 4 twists of the peppermill, salt, thyme, coriander, and cinnamon. Simmer until liquid is absorbed.
Let the beans cool off a bit while you shred the lettuce. Mix the three parts in your desired proportions and chow down!
This was supposed to last me a couple lunches but I think I'm going to get through all my beans just by having seconds ...
UPDATE: I didn't go for seconds, in the end, opting for a banana milkshake and saving the beans for tomorrow, but by 7 I still wasn't even slightly hungry. I made some zucchini fritters simply because the ingredients needed using up. So, a little goes a long way! Consume with moderation!
*In the US (and Canada?) you may only be able to buy black beans pre-seasoned, in which case ... I dunno, do what you will to them, seasoned black beans might be good as they are.
