Somehow when I moved I ended up with a big bag of Northern beans. I'm sure we bought them to make one thing at the house and I thought I'd be more likely to eat thme than the other roommates...so I took them (if you want them back let me know ;-))
So I went in search of a recipe to make! I like eating beans for the protein...but I also like salads made with beans in the summer because they're just yummy.
Please ignore the "leftovers" that I also ate with the beans ;-)
White Beans & Peppers
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 large onion, chopped
1 yellow sweet pepper, chopped (I used a green pepper because I had it on hand)
1 (15oz) can great Northern beans, drained
1 pinch dried oregano
ground cayenne pepper to taste
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
Heat the oil in a skillet over meidum heat. Stir in onion and sweet pepper, and cook until tender. Mix in beans. Season with oregano, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. Continue cooking, sitrring occasionally, until beans are heated through.
