Arugula and Beans (vegan)


This is a new recipe I found on the Internet and tweaked it somewhat. This recipe was supposed to have mustard greens in it, but I couldn't find any so I subbed in arugula. It turned out so good.  I know this doesn't look like much, but you have to trust me on this one.

You will need:
  • Olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 tsp. chili flakes
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp. vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. water
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 3/4 tsp. dry mustard powder
  • 1 package of arugula, washed
  • 1 can white kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • Salt and pepper
Heat oil and saute onion, garlic and chili flakes. Stir in arugula.  Dissolve sugar in water in a separate bowl.  Add vinegar and mustard powder. Stir in the arugula. Add white kidney beans and let simmer with the lid off.  The starch from the beans will make a gravy with the spices.  Salt and pepper to taste.
