The first three weeks of our clean eating adventure, my husband decided he was not going to eat meat. He wanted to detox. I searched for ways for him to get protein and this was what I came up with - beans! I don't have a picture, but quite frankly, the beans didn't look very good at all! I skipped the picture because it didn't do this dish justice. Know that this tastes fantastic, but beans aren't very photogenic:)
16 oz dry pinto beans, rinsed
3 TBS olive oil
1 TBS minced garlic
1 TBS minced basil
2 TBS dried thyme
1 large onion, rough chopped
6 roma tomatoes, rough chopped
2 jalapenos, seeds and ribs removed and diced
8 cups chicken broth
5 oz fresh spinach
Sea salt
Fresh ground black pepper
Put all ingredients except spinach in crock pot. About an hour before it's ready, add the spinach. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
By all means, if you want more spice, add more jalapenos - or just keep the seeds! And next time I make these, I think I'll add flax seed....
