Middle Eastern White Beans
Look no further than these Middle Eastern white beans for a nutritious and wholesome meal that doesn't lack flavor. You would probably not find this dish in a Middle Eastern restaurant. It is the type of everyday dish served to the family. White kidney beans are slowly cooked in a tomato-based sauce. Serve over plain white rice.
Pesto-Stuffed Grilled Portobellos
Pesto-stuffed grilled portobellos make for the perfect summer outdoor meal. It stands alone as vegetarian fare if you serve it with fresh fruit (such as watermelon chunks and blueberries); I love it with cedar-plank grilled salmon as well. You will think you've died and gone to heaven.
