Spicy White Beans
These spicy white beans are cooked with garlic, chili flakes, tomato paste, and a little bit of ~spice~. They're super convenient, versatile, and comforting any time of the day.
Ingredients
- 30 oz. great northern beans or another white bean (2 cans)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ tsp red chili flakes
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- salt
- ½ tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- ½ tsp turmeric
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tbsp lime juice (~ ½ a lime)
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the canned beans.
- Add olive oil to a pan over medium heat. When it's hot, add garlic. Stir occasionally for a few minutes. The oil should start to bubble and the garlic should turn slightly golden.
- Add red chili flakes and stir with the garlic for a minute. Then add tomato paste and salt. Stir for 3-4 minutes, until it all clumps together.
- Add the ground spices (garam masala, coriander, turmeric, pepper) and mix for a minute.
- Add beans and one cup water. Turn heat to medium-high and cook uncovered for 3-4 minutes, or until it starts to simmer. Turn back to low heat and cover for 5-7 minutes.
