I always make enough beans to have as a side dish for a few meals as well as add to whatever soup I have planned.
A classic soup, wonderful with home-made chicken stock (see notes) but equally good with purchased stock.
With shredded, cooked beets, these timbales go together quickly for a fun (and impressive) first course or side dish.
Butternut squash or any winter squash / pumpkin work equally well in risotto.
The recipe assumes you are using purchased stock rather than making it from scratch.
