If you're looking for healthy and tasty together - this is it. We love this recipe. La Comida de Alegria or The Meal of Happiness. Ingredients:
1 to 1-1/2 lbs. pinto beans |
note: if using dried beans, rinse and soak for approximately 3 hours or some people prefer to soak them overnight. do not use the water they have been soaked in. |
3 cubes vegetable bullion (i use low sodium) |
6 cups water |
note: you can omit the 3 cubes of vegetable bullion step and use 3 cups low sodium vegetable stock/broth and 3 cups filtered water. i make my own vegetable broth. |
2 tbsps. cumin |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1 onion, finely chopped |
1-2 celery ribs, finely sliced |
1-1/2 tbsps. parsley flakes |
1/2 tsp. celtic sea salt (optional it you can't find it) |
*this recipe is so flexible. you can add a large can of diced tomatoes with a can of rinsed kidney beans and voila... a different take on a great recipe. |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours. The house will smell amazingly delicious!
2. Toppings:
3. Soy cream
4. Shredded veggie cheddar cheese
5. Chopped flat leafed parsley or cilantro
6. Chopped mild green chilies or green peppers
7. Diced tomatoes
8. Chopped spring onions
9. Psst... Sour Cream is really good on top ;-)
10. Double Psst... If you really want to be naughty and turn this recipe from vegetarian to meat eaters - it's great with a ham hock added. Okay, I just blew the whole good for you thing, sheesh...
