I find them to be the least dangerous of the pulses, with white navy
beans being the worst.

Ever tried soaking them for long periods of time until they're on
the verge of sprouting, before cooking them? It helps. I do split
peas and lentils 24 hours, kidney and white beans 3-4 days, changing
the water daily so the dissolved complex sugars don't ferment in
nasty ways.

I've seen Neekha put away 2 ten ounce steaks at one seating. She
weighs in at 60 pounds so I think she's the champ on a pro-rated
basis. I phoned her tonight and mentioned that. She laughed and said
the only reason she didn't eat three was I ran out!

I suspect you'd prefer the previous steak recipe to this next one in
the queue....
