With the only fresh veggies in the house being onions and mixed baby kales, I had to whip up something fast. I already had this recipe set aside as one I wanted to try. We include fresh greens in most meals, so I added a couple handfuls of the baby kale just after I added the canned beans. We also love spices, so I doubled the cumin and added two hefty shakes of cinnamon. I used a teaspoon of red pepper flakes instead of a fresh chili, and used nearly a whole bulb of chopped garlic. We ate it on corn tortillas since we didn't have any pitas. I think it would be excellent on cornbread. We'll definitely be eating this again!

I can imagine this would be really good in pita but we are gluten free. For us it was 4 stars over recipe#195100 eaten with baby arugula. I used canned kidney beans, cayenne powder instead of chili pepper, to taste, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, plus the rest. Made for Veggie Swap 31 ~ February 2011.

SO good! i made this to accompany a cactus dish that i made, and i fell in love with it. My husband, who such a picky eater and likes nothing with any spices that resemble middle-eastern/persian really really liked them, he had seconds and then leftovers for lunch. So good that i seriously have been eating it ALL WEEK. just wonderful

This was a nice change of pace with a little zip to it. I think it was the lime juice that gave it the tang. I used a jalapeno pepper, being that is what I had on hand, but didn't really notice any heat. The combination of the tomato and lime juice gave it a nice acidity that is different for me when eating beans. I served this over Recipe #424424. Made for ZWT6.

Made this for a quick and easy dinner for hubby and I last night. I did add a little cucumber as one reviewer suggested. It added a nice crunch. Also I used some hot chili sauce instead of the chili pepper. It had a nice kick. We ate in flat bread as a wrap. Thanks for posting! Made for Veggie Swap January 2010!

I come from the land of Dracula and I have two little daughters; they're three years apart.I travelled a lot and I lived in Hungary,Croatia,Canada,Thailand,Japan and Iran(DH is from here). I've seen a lot of wonderful places, the travel bug is still in me but waiting for DDs to grow a little so we can go together. Lots of wonderful memories and hoping to add some more,but my travelling style has to be adjusted now.No more backpacking! I feel old,suddenly.
My girls are everything for me and I'm lucky that I'm able to be at home with them.My life really changed since having them.
I like eating healthy,DH works out a lot and taught me about the right foods.Right now I'm trying to lose a few kg,but I'm happy if I lose one kg/month. Never needed a drastic diet,I drink a lot of water and luckylly there's no McDonalds here(yet) to eat junk food. I prefer homemade cooking to restaurants, these days we can make a better tasting meal at home. I like knowing what goes in my food and what hands are cooking it. I always look at a chef's hands and believe me I've seen dirty fingers too!
I came to the Zaar to look for a pancake recipe and now my refrigerator is full with jars of homemade stuff. I made a lot of friends and I enjoy playing in the tag games since receiving a premium membership gift from Sydney Mike. Thank you, Syd.
I want to thank everyone who makes my recipes and takes the time to take photos. Sometimes I loose track and I can't get back to thank each person making a recipe. I don't mind if someone doesn't stick to the recipe,everyone's taste and needs are different,sometimes ingredients are hard to find and I know this better than most. Please feel free to experiment and hope we'll learn something new from your feedback.
