LAMBS QUARTER (QUELITES) AND BEANS
"Quelites" is a Spanish word for "wild greens." We like to cook with edible weeds, and lambs quarters fall into this category. You can look online for more information about how to identify this plant, which you can use much like you use spinach. If you live in the midwestern United States, you probably have these growing in your yard. I'm not sure where my husband got this recipe, but I like it.

[email protected]This was a great way to use up some leftover beans. I didn't have any lambsquarter or quelites, so I used spinach instead. It was still delicious!
