Report
Vegetarian comfort food at it's finest: creamy smoky beans paired with polenta.
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 shallot minced, small
- 2 cups Kidney Beans drained and rinsed if using canned, cooked, or Jacob’s cattle beans
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked salt
- polenta for serving∞http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-creamy-stovetop-polenta-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-183740[/url
- scallion for serving, greens
- black pepper for serving
Instructions
- Heat a medium pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil followed by the minced shallot. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until the shallot is fragrant and translucent. Add the rest of the ingredients, through the smoked salt. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. The beans should be hot and the sauce thick. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water as needed. Taste and add a pinch more smoked salt as needed.
- Divide the polenta into four bowls and top with the smoky beans, chopped scallion greens, and a grind or two of black pepper.
Notes
- Tips & Tricks: Leave out the butter in the polenta or use a vegan substitute to make the overall dish vegan. If you need to cook the beans from their dried version, I prefer the quick-soak version found on this page.
- After making these beans a couple of times more, I find I like a splash of acid in these beans. Try a tablespoon or so of sherry or balsamic vinegar to the mix!
- Stock up: get the pantry ingredients you will need: tomato paste, smoked paprika
- Nutrition: see the information (includes vegan polenta base).
