Could anything be more comforting than beans? For me pure comfort is beans on toast. When I return home from traveling it’s usually the first thing I want to eat. I literally get off the plane and buy fresh sourdough and beans – it always hits the spot. Spicy beans, or bean chili is one of the first veggie meals I started to cook as a teenager and I’ve continued ever since. Of course I now add a few more spices but essentially it’s the same dish. Super tasty, easy to make and very cost effective.
