Unusual Recipes That Work?

It's true they are delicious.

@redurnet that's good to hear

@kepweng not really.. I know how to cook some delicacies and hot cakes

@redurnet i wonder how the black beans with cocoa would taste like. of course a dish with chocolate is nice, but with black beans, i cannot imagine that.

Yes, cocoa powder was added.

No, you can taste a little bit of bean flavour but the recipe uses honey to sweeten it and the cocoa has that warm rich flavour too.

@redurnet sounds delicious!

@redurnet I had delicious vegan apple muffins a few weeks ago and cookies two days ago. They were wonderful. It's best to experience many recipes.

I love to cook vegan things, mostly because I don't like the idea of using eggs. I went to a vegan festival a few years ago now and I bought my first ever vegan cupcake and it was the most disgusting thing ever. I was convinced I could find a nicer vegan cake recipe and have been baking vegan cakes ever since.Some of them work, some don't work as well but it's fun trying.

@redurnet I have a very old stove and have not gotten around to getting a new one so do not bake things.

Thanks, I have made them again. You have to be careful about blitzing up the beans so they are smooth in the recipe.

Thanks, I haven't had much success with bean burgers either - they always fall apart.

@redurnet Yes thats what they did and did not taste right somehow.

@redurnet , in India we make curries daily! May that be either vegetarian or non vegetarian! Thanks!

That sounds good. I have never attempted to make a curry.

@redurnet Most Americans use it as a vegan savory mayonnaise like spread.

Oh, that sounds very interesting. I have to admit I have never even tasted an avocado before. I think it would be quite nice blended up in this way.

Oh yes, this works doesn't it! I made a cake a few years ago with zucchini in it and you couldn't even tell it was in there but it made me feel like I was eating something healthy.

@redurnet I think carrots have even been hidden in brownies before. The first time I had zucchini brownies was when my aunt brought them for a family gathering years ago.

@redurnet You couldn't taste a beetroot flavour but it was dark and lovely and moist.

I've never heard of beetroot being used. They have a very earthy flavour and I'm not sure I would attempt it!

Yes, they were a flour substitute and it made the brownies very fudge-like.

The brownies are really worth trying and are different to anything I've made before.
