Bean Mix That Congo is Devouring

[Trustdace]

Ok here is a bean mix that is highly nutritious and my grey Congo is devouring daily. Ingredients: 1 cup black eyed peas; 1 cup baby lima beans; 1 cup green beans; 1 cup snap beans in the pod.

I put the black eyed peas, green beans, and the baby lima beans in a small pot and add enough water to cover the mix. I cover it and put it over medium-high heat for about 20 minutes. I add the snap beans during the last 5 minutes. After the 20 min. I drain completely and let it stand about 5 min. in a strainer or until cooled. I do cut the snap bean pods open for Congo because she discards the pod. She always just eats the small beans inside so I do this to minimize the loss of the small beans inside the pod. I only cook them for 20 minutes because Congo doesn't like the mix too soft. If your grey won't eat it like this try cooking it 10 more minutes to soften the peas especially. Hope this helps.

My, my Roger I am throughly impressed. That looks good enough for my dinner. Thank you for your recipe. If Congo won't eat the bean pods, have you tried cutting them up in 1/2" pieces to see if he will then eat them? Chef Roger, what else you got!!!

Hey Roger, that looks delicious{Nature-00020096} I'll take a plate please;)

 

You should put this recipe in the Recipes/Cookbook link in the bird food room. (It is one of the first threads) We are getting a nice collection of recipes and great things to cook for our greys and this one should be in it, too. That way we can always find it when we need it. I love that you have a picture of it, too. I think my flock would approve{Feel-good-000200BB}

I'll have to try this.I made a 15 bean mix this weekend.I thought it tasted horrible (but I don't like beans)...knew it was bad when hubby said yuck take that from the birds.

 

Funny thing is Miya ate half of it,the tiels wouldn't touch it...and I have a gallon of it in the freezer.
