There s no shame in opening a can of beans. That might be a surprising statement coming from someone who wrote an entire cookbook extolling the virtues of beans of all varieties, especially when cooked from dried, but the fact is, I put canned beans right up there with canned tomatoes as one of the world s great convenience products. Few other vegetables packaged this way compare; the less we say about canned beets or mushrooms, the better.
