âThis is a fantastic way to prepare butter beans, which are full of nutrition and low in fat,â advises Grace Malone of Lafayette, Colorado. âIt's great as a side but filling enough to be the main course.â Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1/4 cup chopped celery |
1/4 cup chopped green pepper |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 tablespoon king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 cup water |
2 cans (15 ounces each) butter beans, rinsed and drained |
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
4-1/2 teaspoons chili sauce |
1/4 teaspoon prepared mustard |
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, saute the onion, celery, green pepper and garlic in oil until onion is tender. Combine the flour, salt and pepper; sprinkle over onion mixture and stir until well blended. Cook 1 minute longer.
2. Gradually whisk in water. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes. Yield: 8 servings.
