If the End Is Right, It Justifies the Beans

What's a good thing to do with black beans and/or garbanzo beans?  We just got a ton of both in our farmshare box.  We hardly ever cook with legumes, so I'm at a loss.

  1. Some things we like to make:

    Black beans: Black bean soup (I like this pumpkin black bean soup), rice and beans, put some in your salsa/chopped Mexican-ish salad.

    Garbanzo beans: Minestrone soup, Moroccan stew with couscous and squash, roast them in the oven with some spices, make my favorite salad with these, scallion, a clove of raw garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, bell pepper, tomato, and cucumber. You can throw in some avocado too.

  2. That garbanzo bean salad sounds great. Maybe I'll give that a try over the weekend. I was also contemplating hummus. Black beans are harder, because I don't really like black beans, but that pumpkin soup sounds worth a try (I do like pumpkin). Or my mom makes this black bean, corn, avocado and bell pepper salad that's pretty delicious, black beans notwithstanding.
