A beggar for a couple good mung bean recipes.

[Buzzer Beater]

I got some mung beans today and my usual web site doesn't have recipes I'm thrilled about for these. Any ideas?
Soup?
Cold salad?
Fill me in.

I sprout them and eat them raw in salad mostly though they go in some soups. I just sprout them until they grow a little tail and are vegetable like. (a day or two usually).
actually, I'm not sure I've done anything other than sprout them and use them in salad or soup.

You can basically use them like green lentils. I always soak them overnight before cooking though they also cook up quickly without soaking.

One very simple but delicious way to make them is: boil them in enough water to make them soupy (sorry I don't remember the amounts) with a little turmeric, then puree. Saute some cumin seeds in butter and then mix in to the ready soup. Serve with bread.

Usually nowadays I make them into a hearty soup with bone broth, onions, garlic, root veggies, a green, and some dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley, sage, marjoram, bay leaf, etc.).
