A warm skillet of Cannellini Bean and veggies

I tried to think of a better title for the post and a more creative name for this warm comforting pan of wholesome goodness, but I failed miserably and so, I am doing the next best thing – calling it as it is!!

Each week I start with the intention of eating home cooked meals for most days of the week. But I want to cook fresh each day. So, that makes it a bit tricky, since I am time poor and sometimes tired, at the end of the day. The temptation to order in is huge – so I challenge myself – if it takes less than the time it takes to receive an Ubereats delivery, then it’s worth cooking.

I have also realised that I need to add more protein and vegetables to my diet. And since I prefer vegetarian meals, I am forever looking for ways to incorporate more of both vegetables and protein in my meals.

This recipe ticks all the boxes! It is super quick, requires minimal preparation , loaded with vegetables, packs a decent serve of protein and is versatile. It can be eaten on its own as a hearty stew , as a side with some rice or as a main dish with a side of warm buttered up sourdough toast.

How to make it:

Sauté onion in avocado oil .

Add chili powder & tomatoes.

Stir in beans and baby corn.

Add spinach – cook till wilted Season & serve warm with a sprinkle of cheese .
