Sweet and Spicy Kidney Beans

"I came up with this on a night when I had nothing in the kitchen. I was trying to follow a low fat vegetarian diet at the time, and this actually was very satisfying. I couldn't call them barbecue beans, because...well, because they're not! It's very easy, quick and nutritious, almost like chili, but not quite. All measurements given are estimations."

directions

  • Spray non stick skillet with olive oil to lightly coat (if using something that is not non stick, you may have to use more oil.) When hot, add onions.
  • After those just start to wilt, add garlic and dry spices.
  • Continue until aromatic and golden.
  • Add tomatoes and cook until they soften and release liquid.
  • Reduce heat and add remaining ingredients.
  • Simmer until slightly thickened.
  • If mixture gets too thick, add water.
  • Serve as a side dish or with noodles or rice.
  • I had them as a main course with no-yolk egg noodles and it was surprisingly good.

  1. I was trying to make a vegetable to go with my chicken and all we had was kidney beans, I didn't know how to make them and I found this recipe. It was quick and delicious, definitely keeping this in my emergency cookbook.
     
  2. It was ok, wasn't sweet enough.
