Legumes are a very interesting and nutritious food, which gives us a good amount of complex proteins and carbohydrates, as well as fiber, minerals and vitamins. The simplicity of these recipes means that they can be used as a first course without requiring just preparation, ideal for a day that we have little time to cook, as well as to take in a tupperware to the workplace or school.
