Tips
- Blending some of the beans with tofu, nutritional yeast, and miso paste significantly bumps up the protein content and adds creaminess without simmering for ages.
- Nutritional yeast is also known as vegan cheese, gives a cheesy flavor, has a lot of different vitamins, is a great source of protein, and also has fiber. It is low-sugar and low-fat.
- The dish works really well with cottage cheese bread.
