By Fitness and Freebies
This stew is easy to prepare, but can take a while to cook. This should be enough for two people for two nights.
Recipe Ingredients
1 15-ounce can of kidney beans (or uncooked beans)
1 large thinly sliced onion
4 chopped garlic cloves
1 coarsely chopped green pepper
1 cup of coarsely chopped green cabbage
1/2 cup of diced russet potatoes
16 ounce can of tomatoes
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
4 cups of water or vegetable broth
Recipe Directions
In a large pot over medium high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and saute onion and garlic until the onion is soft.
Add bell pepper, cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, chili powder and cumin.
Continue cooking, stirring frequently for 3 minutes. Add the rice, water or veggie broth, and beans.
Cover and cook on a low heat for two hours, until stew is thick, and the rice and beans are tender.
Notes: If you used canned beans, cooking time will be less. Top with grated cheese if desired.
