Beans and Grains Recipes Wanted________________________________________________
We all know how great beans and grains are for us. I'm interested in
a couple more recipes that emphasize beans and grains.
This newsgroup has been awfully sleepy lately. How about waking it
up with lots and lots of yummy recipes?
Recipes with cheese, yogurt, sour cream, etc., are welcomed, but I'm
more interested in less-fattening dishes.

OK, here is "Tracy's Peanut Butter Brown Rice Biological Warfare Breakfast
Food." I invented this as a way to use up leftover brown rice, and to get
something in my tummy in the mornings.
Take a banana, a dollop of peanut butter (crunchy works well
and of course you DON'T use sweetened peanut butter!) on a
tablespoon (a big dollop), a littler dollop of apple butter
on a teaspoon (and maybe a bit more) and mix them (a potato
masher works well) in a pot. The mixing can be strenuous.
Mix thoroughly. The banana should be ripe or overripe.
Put the pot on low (low) heat, and perhaps throw in some
cinnamon. When it gets warm and liquid like, throw in some
of your old (already cooked) brown rice. You'll want to
throw in enough to get a firm paste. Let it heat up to
where you like it. Stir lots.
Now throw that in a bowl, and pour cold yogurt on top.
It's amazing. The warm, sort of sweet, crunchy rice mixture with discrete
little bits contrasts (in just about every way) with the cold, tart, smooth
yogurt.
You can also eat it cold, you can eat it on bread, you can eat it without
the yogurt.
You will probably want to play around with the exact proportions to get what
you like. Beware of burning the mixture. It usually takes 1/3 to 1/2 of a
cup of uncooked rice per serving, depending on how much you eat. Sometimes
I make it with freshly cooked brown rice: it's even more amazing then.
