Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 or 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed chile flakes
  • 4 cup chopped greens, such as beet greens or Swiss chard
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes with juices
  • 1 cup cooked beans (garbanzos are my favorite)
  • approx. 1/2 cup bean cooking water

Directions

1

Stew the onion and garlic in a little oil until the onion is soft.

2

Stir in the salt and spices.

3

Chop the greens and stir them in. (A little water left on the greens from washing them is good, it helps steam them done.)

4

When the greens wilt, add the tomatoes, beans and some of the bean cooking water. Cook for 10 or 15 minutes. The finished dish should be a little saucy, but not soupy. Add bean water or plain water accordingly.
