Re: A Carnivore Prepares for Lent
RED, WHITE, AND GREEN SKILLET DISH
Heat in a large skillet over medium heat:
2 tablespoons olive oil
Put in:
1 red onion, cut into crescents
Season lightly with:
Salt and pepper
Cook about 2 minutes, until the onion is no longer acrid. Add:
2 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
Cook about 5 minutes more, until the onion has softened. Add:
4 cups cooked or rinsed canned Great Northern beans
Heat thoroughly. Increase the heat and cook until the onion begins to brown lightly around the edges. Reduce the heat to Medium and add:
2 bunches spinach, prepped for cooking
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Cook just until the spinach has wilted. Taste and correct the seasoning with:
More salt and pepper
Serve with cornbread for contrast in color and texture. Or try crusty garlic bread.
DH enjoyed it and ate up the leftovers, but said it should be a side dish with pork. Kids wouldn't touch it. I like it--very savory.
