Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cups sliced celery

1/2 cup chopped onions

1/4 cup chopped red bell peppers

2 cloves garlic

1 cup black beans

(cooked from dry or canned drained)

1/4 cup vegetable broth

(see separate recipes)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

 

Vegan. Low fat

 

Makes: 2 cups; serves: 4

 

Cooked according to this recipe, the beans get very soft and the dish looks

like a mush, but tastes de-lish. For a better-looking (but equally tasty)

dish, use the variation.

 

1. In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the

celery, onions, bell peppers, and garlic; cook, stirring, until softened,

about 3 minutes. Add the beans and broth; simmer, uncovered, 5

minutes. Stir in the cilantro and red pepper.

 

Variation: Sautéed Black Beans and Celery: Omit the broth and simmering

step. Just add the beans, cilantro, and pepper; cook, stirring, until

heated through.
