Easy weeknight vegetarian food with beans/legumes/pulses

G has a modestly annoying health thing for which he's been told that increased bean consumption might be helpful. Separately, but conveniently, he's been wanting to eat less meat. Give me your vegetarian recipes that are

1. tasty (and the seasoning directions are clear enough to ensure it)
   
2. fast (ideally <30 min for chopping/cooking)
   
3. beany (dried beans OK; I can soak if I can plan)
