Black Beans, Green Peas, and Yellow Tomatoes

Dear Turkey,

A Mexican lunch

Was cancelled; I took matters

Into my own hands

Black Beans, Green Peas, and Yellow Tomatoes

(serves 1)

Ingredients:

- 1 c canned black beans, rinsed and drained

- 2/3 c peas (I used frozen -- no need to thaw)

- 8 small yellow tomatoes, halved

- 1 T olive oil

- 1-2 T honey

- 1 t cumin

- 1/2 t turmeric

- 1 t dried minced garlic (or whatever you have), I used this stuff

- 1 T orange or lemon juice

- Chipotle Tabasco

- Rice and cheese, and more Tabasco, for topping

Instructions:

- Combine the oil, honey, turmeric, cumin, and garlic in a medium size pan. Heat on medium/high heat until the garlic starts to smell amazing, 1-2 minutes. 

- Add the black beans, juice, and some Chipotle Tabasco to taste. Cook another 2 minutes, stirring, until the liquid starts to cook off. 

- Add the peas and tomatoes and cook just until the peas are tender. 

- Serve with rice and cheese, and more Tabasco.

Enjoy,

Tofu
