After I had it all mixed up I thought it was screaming for pasta so I added about a cup of cooked rotini. I used red and green peppers and also added a bit of chopped celery. I left the pimentos out because it was red enough and didn't have the avocado so I skipped that as well.

They would also hold up very well in stews or soups that are simmered for a longer period of time, just like this sausage soup with butter beans. When it comes to taste, they deliver a flavour very reminiscent of green peas or lentils. However, because the red kidney beans are so firm, then need to be pre-soaked in water to soften up.
