i'm looking for good, healthy, meat-free recipes. i want to make beans & rice. i found this recipe online but am not sure what "pulses" are.....
Ingredients (Serves 2):
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
25 g butter
1 red onion, peeled and chopped
4 cups cooked brown rice
225 g can sweetcorn kernels
500 g can mixed pulses (or mix 3 x 225 g cans pulses choosing any combination of red kidney beans, chickpeas, butter beans, black eyed peas or flageolet beans)
½ tsp dried mixed herbs
4 sun dried tomatoes, finely sliced
Heat the olive oil and butter in a saute or frying pan. Add the onion and cook until tender, being careful not to let it burn or go crisp.
Add all the other ingredients and stir thoroughly until heated through. Serve with any kind of salad.
per wiki: Pulses are annual leguminous crops yielding from one to twelve grains or seeds of variable size, shape and color within a pod, according to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Pulses are used for food and animal feed.

Zatarain's makes all kinds of beans and rice mixes zero fat and even reduced sodium...but you can only eat so much beans and rice....
The Zataraians is okay in a time pinch, but too salty for my tastes.
Here are some tasty add-ons. Cubans traditionally put ham and either a splash or rum or apple cider in the pot.
I put in about 1/2c apple juice and some diced turkey ham. It's not meatless but it's harmeless except for the turkey death.
"Pulses" is not allowed entry to my vocabulary, BTW.
