I might used 3 ounzes of the tinned Pinto Beans, or I might have just used a single tin, it was probably a whole tin, because I can't remember having any left over - because I couldn't be bothered with soaking the dried ones overnight, and boiling and all that faff - didn't think about 3 ounces of dried being so much more after soaking and boiling - and it still tasted lovely.Tinned pinto beans are about 15g of carbs per 100g, and a tin is about 240g when drained.
I'm guessing the 75g in the recipe was dried weight, so times that by about 3 when cooked, I would have said I only used twice as many as in the recipe, but my excuse was I had no mushrooms.
Even if I eat it in 5 portions, I reckon I would be ok personally with 15g of carbs from the beans.
Some in the onion, leek, tomatoes, and flour, but obviously not enough to raise me by that much.
Now you have a meter, you need to start testing, and see what your own personal tolerances are.
Then try this recipe, it was delicious.
Yes, I know I need to start testing, I'm just trying to pluck up the courage... I might just wait until Saturday, when Ian can do it for me and that way get me used to it.
