This is an easy and delicious recipe that serves up a complete meal. It’s
great for any night of the week. Presoak the beans overnight and you’re on
your way.
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound navy beans
1 tablespoon coconut oil
cup coarsely chopped onions
1 clove garlic, minced
cup nutritional yeast
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 Roma tomatoes, chopped
2 cups sliced carrots
5 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons salt
teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound kale, de-stemmed and coarsely chopped
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Place the beans in a large stockpot and cover with water by about 3
inches. Let it sit overnight to let the beans expand. If you want to do the
quick method for preparing the beans—instead of soaking overnight—then
cover beans with water by 2 inches in the stockpot. Cover with a lid and
bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let stand, uncovered 1 hour.
Drain beans in a colander and set aside.
2. Put the oil in the same stockpot and heat over medium heat. Add the
onions and saute for about 10 to 15 minutes until soft and translucent. Add
the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add 4 cups water, beans,
nutritional yeast, bell pepper, tomatoes, carrots, broth, Italian seasoning,
salt, and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil. Uncover and turn down to a
simmer. Cook until beans are tender, about 1 to 1
hours.
3. Stir in kale and 2 cups water and simmer, uncovered until kale is tender,
about 12 to 15 minutes.
