Garden-Fresh Greens and Beans

Dear Turkey,

It takes a lot for

Me to really like beet greens

But this one did it

Garden-Fresh Greens and Beans

(serves 4, adapted from Moosewood Low-Fat Favorites)

Ingredients:

- 1 can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained

- 1 can great northern beans, rinsed and drained

- 2 T minced garlic (jarred is fine)

- 2 T olive oil

- 2 T honey

- 1 T dried thyme or Italian seasoning

- black pepper, to taste

- 4 c greens, loosely packed and cut with scissors (I used beet greens)

Instructions:

- Heat the oil, garlic, honey, thyme, and pepper until the garlic starts to brown. Keeping the heat high, add both beans and cook, stirring, 2 or 3 minutes, until everything is really hot and sizzling and smells awesome. 

- Add the greens and cook just until wilted. 

- Serve over tortillas and rice (I cooked some brown rice with plenty of lime juice, garlic powder, olive oil, and salt).

- Garnish with lemon juice, tabasco sauce, chives, and crumbly white cheese like queso fresco or feta. 

Enjoy,

Tofu
