Ingredients for Beans Tomatoes And Spinach

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • Baby Spinach
  • Cannellini
  • Diced Tomatoes
  • Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup water

How to Make Beans Tomatoes And Spinach

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1/2 cup chopped onion. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add 5 ounces of fresh spinach and 1/4 cup of water to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until spinach is wilted.
  3. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of drained and rinsed kidney beans (or your favorite bean!), 1 (14.5-ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  4. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and flavors have melded. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Serve warm and enjoy! Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
