Chicpea Pasta Salad

I’m trying to be healthier but I LOVE carbs so not too healthy! Plus breastfeeding I figure the half assed dieting approach is ok for now. This salad is so yummy and only has goodness in it (I think pesto is ok right?) Anyway if you’re a half-assed dieter like me I hope you’ll enjoy…

Slowcooker Black Beans

So this post is as boring as bat shit but it’s a staple and I had to share.

Black beans go with so many dishes, I add them to burritos, tacos, chilli, wraps, nachos…you get the idea. We pick up a bag from the Central Markets here in Adelaide and they cost next to nothing.

First thing to do is soak your beans overnight, simply place in a large bowl fill with water and leave.

In the morning drain the beans and add with a few bits and pieces to your slow cooker.

• 6 garlic cloves
• 1 onion chopped
• 1 capsicum chopped
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp oregano
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tsp chilli (optional)
• Salt and pepper
• 1 pound black beans

1. First saute onion, capsicum and garlic
2. Add everything to the slow cooker
3. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8. *Note, check after 4 and if any crunch to beans cook longer
4. When cooked and cooled divide up into portions and freeze.           **if using on the day add a some lime jucie and coriander for a kick then add to your dish 

Simple boring recipe and probably easier to buy canned but I still get icky using canned goods so prefer this method.
