Fresh Cranberry Bean and Tomato Stew
Ingredients
- 8 oz (abt 225 grams) fresh shelled Cranberry Beans
- 1 Onion, chopped
- 1 Jalapeno, seeded - or to taste (optional)
- 1-2 Garlic cloves
- 4 med-large (about 12 oz) ripe Tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Oregano,

Instructions
- Combine the beans, salt and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium heat and cook until tender; around 10-12 minutes. While the beans are cooking, in a separate pan, sauté the onion and garlic in a skillet in 1 teaspoon oil. Saute the onions until translucent and then add the chopped tomatoes along with the dried herbs. Add about 1 cup water and bring to a boil.
- Continue cooking until the tomatoes soften; add the beans and cook for another 5-10 minutes.
- Mash some beans to thicken the stew. Garnish with fresh oregano and serve hot.
- Try it with flatbread, Indian rotis, (even flour tortillas work), bread etc. Especially delicious the next day added on top of Bruschetta (along with some basil pesto).
