Not a bad way to get those healthful beans in since the optimal diet calls for eating them daily. I adapted the recipe from Breaking The Food Seduction: The Hidden Reasons Behind Food Cravings-And 7 Steps to End Them Naturally by Neal Barnard, M.D., founder of The Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine ( ). I recommend this book for anyone who is transitioning from the Standard American Diet, even if you don't want to do the three-week diet. It explains a lot about why we crave certain foods.
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 large sweet onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic cloves
1 (6 ounce) can no-added-salt tomato paste (minus 1 tablespoon)
1/4 cup braggs liquid aminos (or low-sodium tamari)
4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
2 (15 ounce) cans no-salt-added navy beans
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray a medium casserole dish with olive oil cooking spray.
3. Heat oil in large skillet.
4. When hot, add onion and garlic and saute until onion is lightly browned.
5. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine tomato paste, Bragg's or tamari, maple syrup, and mustard and mix well.
