Red Beans and Brown Rice

Ingredients:

1 medium onion, white, yellow or red 3 cloves fresh garlic 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes (no- or low-salt preferred) 1½ cups chopped spinach 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (or less if you don’t like “heat”) 1½ cups or 1 can kidney beans (drained and rinsed) 1½ cups cooked brown rice (page 7)

Directions:

Sauté onion and add crushed garlic as the onions are cooked. (Use med-low heat with liquid in any pan, or high-heat dry sauté in stainless steel). Add the diced tomatoes, spinach, nutritional yeast and cayenne pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the beans and bring to a slow simmer. Serve over rice.

I was very surprised how tasty this was. Definitely on my “repeat” list.
