Cranberry Beans. September 11, 2008 | By Adam Roberts | 25 Comments My first experience with cranberry beans was a failed attempt at a soup (see here) where dried cranberry beans were cooked for an inappropriate amount of time, leading to a texture so unpleasantly undercooked it was like eating unpopped popcorn kernels.

The years have passed, but the scars took a while to heal: I wasn’t too eager to cook cranberry beans again. Not even fresh ones. That is until I saw a beautiful mound of them at the farmer’s market and, knowing I was cooking a dinner for Stella two weeks ago, I said: “What the ‘ell!” (I had a British accent.) Cranberry beans are so, so, pretty, you just want to stare at them and not cook them for hours. “Sorry, Stella!” But look at the open pod in my hand: Can you believe that comes from nature? I spent a pleasant 20 minutes shelling all the beans into this bowl and, again, found myself mesmerized by their beauty: Stella smacked me again. “I’m sorry, Stella!”

Wild Rice Salad with Roasted Vegetables and Lemon-Tahini Dressing. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been trying to use up things I already have in the cupboard, plus eat seasonally, plus make things that are relatively easy to make – and this salad fit the bill on all counts.

It’s not the prettiest salad in the world, but compared to what I didn’t show you of my refrigerator, that bowl should be hanging in the Louvre.
