Maida's Marvelous Beans

Maida won my informal facebook contest of what to do with the white beans I had soaking and I loved the result so much I wanted to share. I had to add a bit of garaham marsala and chili powder to her original idea for that sweet kick.

Maida's beans.

1 cup dry white beans
1 large onion
2 tsp cumin
1 Tbs fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, diced
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garahm marsala
1 15oz can diced tomatoes
1 box frozen spinach

1. Cook the beans, soak overnight and put in the slow cooker for 8 hours.



2. saute the onion in some oil over low heat until soft. Add the garlic and saute another minute



3. Add beans, cumin, ginger, chili powder and tomatoes and cook over low heat for about 15min until well blended.



4. thaw the spinach and squeeze as much water out as possible, then add it to the bean mixture.



5. Serve over rice (Maida says) or if you have an extra 10lbs of potatoes and no rice as I did, dice the potatoes and bake on a lightly oiled sheet at 400 for 30minutes or until crisp, turning occasionally.
