This is out of Chatelaine mag. It has low fat, protein and very healthy veggies and taste good too. This asks for black beans but I have used pinto (didn't have the black on hand)with fine results so I would say to use the beans you like the best. This was a combo that my dad loved and used often, he was a grand Son of Spain who was born in Andalusia shortly before my grand parents moved to the U.
Ingredients:
3 large carrots, peeled
3 garlic cloves
1 onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 teaspoon salt
2 large tomatoes
1 1/2 cups chopped ham
2 cups water
10 ounces undiluted chicken broth
1 cup frozen corn
19 ounces black beans
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon tabasco sauce (optional)
Directions:
1. Slice carrots into thin rounds, mince the garlic, and coarsely chop the onion.
2. Coat a large saucepan with oil and set over medium-high heat.
3. Add carrots, garlic and onion. Sprinkle with paprika, chili powder, oregano and salt.
4. Stir occasionally until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
5. While onion is cooking, coarsely chop tomatoes.
6. Add ham to onion mixture and stir often until ham is lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
7. Add tomatoes, water, undiluted chicken broth and corn.
8. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up and stir in brown bits from pan bottom to add flavour.
