Directions

Here's an interesting recipe I adapted from "Bean Cuisine" by Janet Horsley, Avery Publishing Group, 1982.

Cook peas in water until tender, about an hour. Drain and reserve ½ cup of the stock.

Preheat oven to 400 F/200 C. "Saute" the veggies in the apple juice for a few minutes. Stir in the flour/water mixture and cook and stir for a minute. Slowly add the beer and cook and stir for a minute. Slowly add the reserved bean stock and cook and stir for a minute. Add the remaining ingredients and gently boil for about 5 more minutes. Pour into a casserole. Bake, covered, for 1 hour.
