    I made these beans tonight based on this [NYT Cooking recipe](https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020970-turmeric-black-pepper-chicken-with-asparagus?unlocked_article_code=1.3E4.2f9c.XbpXCvWW-UNO&smid=share-url) (gift link) I make all the time. I’m trying to eat more vegan, so I figured I could use the cannellini beans I had in my pantry instead of chicken. I’m sure you can replace honey with something else or leave it out!

    Ingredients:

    White beans

    Asparagus (sliced thin)

    Vegan honey substitute of your choice (or, optional, but good! Cuts into the pepper nicely).

    Lemon juice

    Flour

    Lemon-pepper spice mix

    Turmeric (optional)

    Salt

    -mix like 1/4 cup water, a little honey (1-2 tbsp), lemon juice, some salt and pepper and set it aside.

    -mix 1tbsp flour with lemon pepper spice (I think I used about 1tbsp but not sure, didn’t measure). I put a little turmeric in here also cuz I wanted to finish mine. Add whatever spices you want lol.

    -coat the rinsed and drained beans in that mixture

    -about 1tbsp oil in the pan, cook the beans until they’re a little browned

    -add the asparagus, cook for a few more minutes. I salted again here

    -add the honey and water mixture from the beginning until thickened and cooked down nicely. Add more lemon juice as it’s cooking down
