Great post and recipes. Can I just add that pressure cooking (my thing), really helps with digestibility, nutrition retention and anti nutrients? As well as making the process even cheaper?

Wait, what — keeping and using parmesan rind? A quick Google later, and I can see that this is a revelatory idea. Thank you!

Not just Parmesan rinds either - lots of hard cheese rinds are edible. I make stock with them.

I love that beans are having their moment! In Brazil (where I'm from) beans are the main feature of any lunchtime dish. I really miss it, especially when the idea of lunch here in the UK (where I now live) is a cold sandwich and a packet of crisps.

Thanks for sharing your story Ana! I have recently become totally obsessed with the 3 for one pound table at my local greengrocers. Praise the lord for people like you. Mung beans are great x
