Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

World Bank’s climate plan: Pricier red meat and dairy, cheaper chicken and veggies (www.politico.eu)

submitted 6 months ago by MicroWave to c/world

123 comments fedilink hide all child comments

“We have to stop destroying the planet as we feed ourselves,” a World Bank official said, as red meat and dairy drive CO2 emissions.

Cows and milk are out, chicken and broccoli are in — if the World Bank has its way, that is.

In a new paper, the international financial lender suggests repurposing the billions rich countries spend to boost CO2-rich products like red meat and dairy for more climate-friendly options like poultry, fruits and vegetables. It's one of the most cost-effective ways to save the planet from climate change, the bank argues.

The politically touchy recommendation — sure to make certain conservatives and European countries apoplectic — is one of several suggestions the World Bank offers to cut climate-harming pollution from the agricultural and food sectors, which are responsible for nearly a third of global greenhouse gas emissions.

…

The paper comes at a diplomatically strategic moment, as countries signed on to the Paris Agreement — the global pact calling to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius — prepare to update their climate plans by late 2025.

Care to share a favorite recipe or two? I've been meaning to step up my legume game for a minute.

Thanks in advance, but also no presh! 🤙

Black bean tacos. Whatever you do with beef, use a can of black beans instead

[–] SparrowRanjitScaur 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I tried putting black beans on my grill but they fell through the gaps. Help?

[–] bbuez 2 points 6 months ago

No thats okay, the charcoal adds to the texture

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Dried beans are even nicer and cheaper, although I get they require a little more work.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

This is not my native language and I'm too lazy to translate whole recipies, so here are just a few tips:

Cook yellow lentils with vegetable stock to make a creamy sauce, add more stuff and seasoning to taste
Red lentils stay a bit harder and replace minced meat very well
Brown lentils with smoked tofu, leek, potatoes, celery and carrots make a great German lentil soup
Find a recipe for bean chili
Look for potato and pumpkin-curry
Throw lentils and chickpeas or beans into tomato sauces and see what you like. There are no rules, I put beans or lentils in every meal!
Make a fresh salad and toss in cold pasta and beans for a real meal

I really like misr wat. If you can find the berbere spice mix and red lentils I highly recommend it.

I like emerald dol.

Rinse, then soak 1.5 cups of dried lentils for at least 20 mins.

Bring to boil then cover and simmer for 15 minutes in 3.5 cups of water (I just soak them in the pot and turn on the burner). Add 0.5 tsp of salt, turmeric, and chili powder at start of simmer.

Add 1 lb of chopped spinach (I use the frozen blocks for this, basically leave it simmering while they thaw, stirring occasionally to break up the blocks quicker).

In a separate pan, melt 2 tbsp of butter (or whatever equivalent butter-like substance), I add a bit of coconut oil also because I don't have coconut milk and generally use almond milk instead, so the oil gives it some if that coconut flavour. Chop up an onion and add it to the butter. I also add some fresh garlic and pickled minced ginger, but these are modifications I've made to the recipe.

Add 1 tsp of mustard seed and cumin (I use whole cumin seeds but powdered also works).

When the onions are done to your liking (recipe says when they are translucent, but I personally like fresh onions so don't always cook them that much), add in 0.5 cups of coconut or almond milk (or whatever, even dairy milk would probably work well if we weren't avoiding it), plus 1 tsp of garam masala and mix all that in to the lentil/spinach pot.

It's pretty much done at this point, but I'll keep the (low) heat going for a bit. Watch the moisture level, it should have a consistency of a thick stew.

Put some naan bread in the oven @400 F for ~10 minutes or to however cooked you prefer it. I like to break off pieces and spoon some dol on top as I eat. You can dip it, but it's too runny to pick up a lot that way.

All measurements are suggestions; pretty sure I use more than that for the spices and one package of frozen spinach blocks is a bit less than a pound (500g).

It scales up pretty well (I usually do a double batch) and freezes well.

India has a lot of vegetarians and a lot of foods that don't just try to be vegetarian versions of meat dishes, so I suggest checking out more Indian recipes if you'd like more options.

Chicken broth + lentils + whatever veggies you got lying around = tasty as shit soup

Just make sure to wash the lentils first

And to REALLY up your game use a mirepoix as the base.
