Sweet and Spicy Kidney Beans image

I came up with this on a night when I had nothing in the kitchen. I was trying to follow a low fat vegetarian diet at the time, and this actually was very satisfying. I couldn't call them barbecue beans, because...well, because they're not! It's very easy, quick and nutritious, almost like chili, but not quite. All measurements given are estimations.

Time 30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
salt
pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 -2 ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 can kidney bean, with liquid
1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
barbecue sauce, to taste (I used an organic brand, Wild Thymes Spicy Barbecue; it's chunky, hot and sweet, but not smoky)
red hot sauce, to taste
beer, maybe 1/2 cup (optional)

Steps:

  • Spray non stick skillet with olive oil to lightly coat (if using something that is not non stick, you may have to use more oil.) When hot, add onions.
  • After those just start to wilt, add garlic and dry spices.
  • Continue until aromatic and golden.
  • Add tomatoes and cook until they soften and release liquid.
  • Reduce heat and add remaining ingredients.
  • Simmer until slightly thickened.
  • If mixture gets too thick, add water.
  • Serve as a side dish or with noodles or rice.
  • I had them as a main course with no-yolk egg noodles and it was surprisingly good.

This recipe was a great starting point for my own kidney bean dish. I added some extra vegetables and spices to make it more to my taste, but the basic recipe is solid.
