Meatless Monday: Mushroom Mung Beans

Legumes and beans are an important part of plant-based diet. Based on Ginny Messina‘s Plant Plate from our book Vegan for Her

I make a point to eat at least 3 servings a day. It’s really easy to do:

  • I have at least one serving of soy a day (tofu, tempeh, miso, edamame, oh my!) because it’s higher in protein than any other legume.
  • Peanuts are legumes (peanut butter toast, anyone?).
  • Quinoa is an honorary legume!
  • And beans, oh so many types of beans…

Today, meet the Mung Bean

I started playing with mung beans while writing Vegan Pressure Cooking and I love them. They cook up quickly, have a light sweetness to them, and are so nutritious.  I use them in soup, on a salad, as a side, and – one of my favorite ways to serve beans – stuffed in a baked (or pressure cooked!) potato. Which is exactly what I did with these Mushroom Mung Beans.

  1. This looks great! I confess that I have only eaten mung beans as sprouts (they are my favorite sprouts).
