Greens and Beans-looking for an easy dinner? This one was thrown together in a flash.
Place the following into a bowl per person:
- Bowl full of fresh organic greens (kale was used in this bowl)
- 1/2 small organic (in season) tomato
- 1/2-3/4 c of organic chick peas/garbanzo (so easy to make your own or buy canned)
- Heat above in microwave about 2 minutes, and stir (greens will wilt)
- Add fresh herbs if you choose-we added some left over grilled zucchini and stir (cook until desired temp)
- Add some salt and pepper
- We added a little parmesan cheese-can go cheese-less if vegan
- Voila! Meal in an instant and nothing came prepared-with no added fat (if parm is omitted), high in protein and vitamins
Nutritional info: chick peas are high in protein-essential for healing and re-building tissues. Greens provide calcium and iron-also important in the proper formation of bones, teeth, and gums, as well as aiding in the healing process. Tomatoes are high in lycopene-which is a carotenoid linked to improving cardiovascular health, combating diabetes, and cancer.
