Dinner Tonight: Spanish White Beans with Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
[Photograph: Nick Kindelsperger]
I'm kind of addicted to this beans-and-greens combination. It's a concept that initially didn't make much sense to me. Wouldn't the result just be a mushy, messy, gray and green glob in a bowl? Nope—it's actually hearty and filling in a spectacularly healthy way. It's perfect for those who want a warm bowl of food for the upcoming cool weather, but don't necessarily want to go overboard with the meat. The duo is accentuated here by some thinly sliced sundried tomatoes, a simple addition that oddly adds a slight meaty edge along with a compact tomato flavor.
I pulled this recipe from the last issue of Gourmet.
