Why Did Andrés Use Red Kidney Beans In This Veggie Burger Recipe?

Andrés is a vegan influencer and activist from Perú. He has always been interested in how systems can change drastically by having small breakthroughs at a time. His most memorable breakthrough experience happened the day he went vegan on November 3rd, 2017 after watching ‘What The Health’ twice and realizing that he could solve his health problems, help end environmental problems and help restore the values in society by just shifting his lifestyle by going vegan.

Andrés loves beans, they are such a comfort food for him. He grew up eating red kidney beans, as they’re a staple ingredient in Peruvian cuisine.  So he is not new to the benefits and creative ways to use red kidney beans in recipes, as you can tell from today’s recipe, made with red kidney beans! 

Andrés is a regular on #LunchBreakLIVE cooking up awesome Peruvian dishes.  Here is an episode I really enjoyed where he made Aji De Soya.
