INGREDIENTS

PAN

• 2 teaspoons avocado oil
• 1/2 medium onion, chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup sliced, sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons dried basil
• 1. 15oz can fire roasted tomatoes

• 2 cans of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
• 3 tablespoons of tahini
• 2 cups kale, bite-sized pieces, or spinach
• 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
• 1 cup vegetable stock or water
• Pepper and salt to taste

EASY VEGAN BREAD BREADS

• 3-4 slices of Whole Grain Sprouted Bread
• 2-3 tablespoons vegan butter, at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
• 1 clove of garlic, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon of vegan cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat a large sauté pan to medium heat and add your oil.
2. Add the onion with a pinch of salt and sauté until translucent.
3. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, then add the sun-dried tomatoes and continue sautéing for another minute.
4. Add the peppers, basil and canned tomatoes and mix well.
5. Add the white beans, tahini, balsamic vinegar and water to the pan. Once well combined, bring to a low boil and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
6. While the pan is boiling, make the garlic bread. Start by mixing the butter, garlic, herbs, and a pinch of salt and set aside.
7. Cut your bread in half and spread the mixture generously on each slice of bread. Sprinkle a dash of vegan cheese on top and place in the toaster for 5 minutes, or until golden and the cheese begins to melt.
8. Stir your cabbage in the stew during the last five minutes of cooking and allow it to wilt. Serve the casserole with fresh garlic bread and enjoy.

NOTES

• Taste and adjust seasonings as desired throughout the cooking process. The flavor will depend on the flavor of the sun-dried tomatoes and broth used.
• If you’re concerned about sodium, use water or low sodium broth to boil your beans.
• Preheat your pan before adding the oil. This will keep the pan nice and hot, which will allow the oil to be distributed more evenly in the pan, which will help keep things from sticking.
• Allow your vegan butter to come to room temperature before adding additional ingredients to make mixing easier.
• To make your garlic bread, use a hearty sandwich like Silver Hills Sprouted Bread or a nice crusty bread.
