I've decided to significantly reduce my meat consumption and use lots of lentils, kidney beans, chickpeas etc and cooking them from scratch in my pressure cooker. So far I've made bean burgers, Turkish kibbeh, Indian dal, humous, red pepper and lentil soup. Does anyone have any recipes? I'm getting a bit bored with the above.

I would check the labels when looking for Asafoetida. The one labeled as such in Asda has only 10% Asafoetida.

Some good and tasty recipes I might be testing. smile

See if you can track down a copy of Rose Elliot’s book ‘Beanfeast’. It’s the best recipe book ever for legumes. I doubt it’s still in print, but I’m guessing AbeBooks may have secondhand copies at a reasonable price.
