I noticed there didn’t seem to be a vegetarian community, and sharing vegetarian recipes is one of my favourite uses of other threaded link-sharing websites, so I’ll kick things off with a thread about beans and legumes - the pulse family. Anyone have a favourite use for these absurdly versatile vegetables?

Personally, I love aquafaba. The stuff is insane. This is the water that comes off canned chickpeas, and can be harvested from the thick discard water from any cooked beans as well. It can mimic egg whites in a huge number of uses, from mixed alcoholic drinks to meringue in the right circumstances. I eat eggs, but sparingly, and I can’t believe how versatile this danged liquid is.
