RED KIDNEY BEAN PUREE

Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     quick, side dish

Time 2m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound red kidney beans, washed and picked over
1 1/2 cups full-bodied red wine
1 stick cinnamon or a pinch of ground cinnamon
1 onion stuck with 1 clove Herb bouquet made with thyme, parsley and bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Few drops balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Soak the beans in cold water overnight.
  • Heat the wine in a saucepan with spices, onion, herbs and peppers and two cups of water. Bring the liquid to a boil and keep it at a simmer. Meanwhile, drain the beans, cover them with cold water and bring them to a boil. Boil hard for five minutes and drain. Immediately add the beans to the simmering wine, cover and cook over medium low heat one to one-and-a-half hours. Add boiling water if necessary to keep the beans covered. (Season with one teaspoon of salt only when the beans are tender.)
  • Drain the beans, reserving one-half cup of the cooking liquid. Discard the cinnamon stick, bouquet and onion. Puree the beans in a food processor; for a finer result one can then press them with the cooking liquid through the fine blade of a food mill. Return the beans to the saucepan and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, over low heat until the puree becomes thick enough to come away from the sides of the pan.
  • Gradually beat in the butter. Correct the seasoning. (The beans can be prepared one day in advance. Reheat them slowly in a double boiler or a covered glass dish in the microwave.)

EASY ROASTED RED KIDNEY BEANS WITH A KICK (VEGAN)



Easy Roasted Red Kidney Beans With a Kick (Vegan) image

Need to get both simple carbs and a good protein quotient in after a workout? I've been on a roasting frenzy lately with various legumes to have a quick, hot, nutritious dish that doesn't yield much (since I'm cooking for just me.) I use Recipe #389616 but storebought works too. This is great to have with a salad, piece of bread or fruit but would also make a nice side dish for a sit-down dinner. Simple and cheap too!
