Beans Tuscany Improv Recipe
Lacking most of the ingredients for the typical Tuscan Bean recipe I decided to improvise. This dish is quick, easy to make, full of fiber and is low fat.
Ingredients
- 1 (15 oz.) can of cannellini beans, drained
- 1 (15 oz.) can of garbanzo beans, drained
- 1 (15 oz.) can of petite diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 small to medium leek or small onion, sliced
- 2 Tbsp. of fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 stalk of celery, sliced diagonally
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. garlic powder (yep, I was out of garlic cloves too)
- 1 Tbsp. dried oregano
- 1 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
Directions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Add the onion or leek. Sauté until translucent.
- Add the celery and continue to sauté until tender-crisp.
- Add the oregano, garlic powder and black pepper.
- Reduce the heat. Add the cannellini and garbanzo beans and
- mix well. Heat through (about 5 min.). Add the parsely and
- tomatoes, mix again, cover and allow to cook over low heat
- for about another 10 minutes. Serve hot as a side or main dish.
