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.

It may not sound edible, but trust me, once you start, you can't stop! The best part about the recipe, is that you can just leave the eggs alone, and they still come out perfect.
