Spinach And Canellini Beans (vegan)

[Guest guest]

For this to be vegan, all you'd need to do is be sure the bread you

used in the

recipe was prepared in that way. Quite yummy and the inspiration for

this

came from my new cookbook I got for Yule. I copied it from the book

as it

appeared and highlighted the changes I made with this: ~*~

 

I ate this over brown rice. Mmmmmm

 

Spinach And Canellini Beans (vegan)

 

8 oz. canellini beans, soaked overnight

4 Tbs olive oil

1 slice bread

1 onion, chopped

3-4 tomatoes, peeled and chopped ~*~

A good pinch of paprika

1 lb. spinach

1 garlic clove, halved ~*~

Salt and pepper

 

1. Drain bean, place in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a

boil and

boil rapidly for 10 minutes. Cover and simmer one hour until the

beans are

tender. Drain.

2. Heat 2 Tbs of the oil in a frying pan and fry the bread until

golden brown.

Transfere to plate.

3. Fry onion in 1 Tbs oil over low heat until soft but not brown,

then add the

tomatoes and continue cooking over low heat.

4. Heat remaining oil in a large pan, stir in paprika and then add

the spinach.

Cover and cook a few minutes until the spinach has wilted.

5. Add the tomato and onion mixture to the spinach and stir in

canellini

beans. Place the garlic and fried bread in a food processor and

process until

smooth. Stir into the spinach and bean mixture. Add 2/3 cup cold

water and

then cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes, adding more water if

needed.
