Black Bean Enchiladas With Warm Salsa Verde

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:18:30 -0400

With tangy tomatillos softened by creamy avocado in a Warm Salsa Verde, this Southwestern-inspired dish qualifies as contemporary comfort food. Fresh tomatillos are available in the produce section of most grocery stores. Look for firm, unblemished fruit inside a papery husk. Adapted from Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals. Published in the June 2004 issues of Vegetarian Times. -- posted by Wish I Could Cook

Vegetarian Black Bean, Corn and Zucchini Enchiladas

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:52:33 -0400

My friend Stephanie gave me this recipe and she got it out of a magazine, but I don't know which one! My kids actually like this so much that they fight over who gets to eat the leftovers!! It's so easy to make too. I'm sure you can use canned enchilada sauce, but if you do make the sauce in this recipe, it sure is tasty! -- posted by Not-a-Chef #1

This hearty salad combines all the necessary components for a great dish with the sweet dates complementing the tart Peanut Lime dressing. I created this recipe to copy our local West Vancouver Earl's version in 2005. Sliced blackened chicken is excellent with this salad. -- posted by Ronalynne

Low-Fat Black Bean-Pasta Salad (Vegan)

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:42:35 -0400

This colorful creation has a lot more flavor and a lot less fat than traditional pasta salad. It's easy to throw together, and with lots of vegetables and vegetarian protein it can be served as a light entree or a hearty side dish, perfect for potlucks, picnics or packed lunches. It can easily be made gluten-free by subbing gluten-free pasta. -- posted by Prose

Fastest Lunch or Dinner Ever! (Healthy Too, W/Black Beans)

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:45:17 -0400

Forget wasting time waiting in the McD's line. This healthy dish is more delicious, nutritious, and fast. All 4 of my kids love this because it is mild, not like most black bean dishes. To be sure, it is simple and plain, but sometimes that is the best. It can be supplemented with as many things as you can imagine--grilled chicken pieces, cheese, cilantro, tomato, black olives, green onions, etc., but we all love it just like this. -- posted by annlouise

Spicy Black Bean Burgers

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:32:23 -0400

My husband and I love these. I serve them on homemade whole wheat buns, topped with some cilantro mayonnaise. I use cooked dried beans, but a can of beans works equally well. Using the dried beans I can make these for less than $0.25 each! Often I triple this recipe and freeze burgers for future use. -- posted by Victoria in Fort Wayne

Island Style Rice and Beans

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 17:17:07 -0400

I found this on a OAMC website, which credits Healthy Meals in Minutes for this recipe. This was pretty easy, and nummy. This could also probably be made in a rice cooker (especially after thawing a frozen batch). I did the stovetop cooking for my two batches separately, since I was baking one batch for dinner and freezing the second. This worked out well for me. -- posted by CraftScout

Ben's Best Vegetarian Chili

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:19:20 -0400

My fiance made up this recipe while trying to use up leftovers and it turned out great! He meant to use oregano, not mint, but since mint ended up in the chili, it stays on the recipe list! This chili is on the spicy side, but can be adjusted if you want a more mild version. Enjoy! -- posted by Stacy and Ben's Place

Feijoada (Brazilian Black Bean Stew)

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 10:34:01 -0400

Feijoada is a typical Portuguese dish which is now the national dish of Brazil. According to legend, the dish dates back to colonial times when the slaves made a stew out of beef and pork scraps. It is served for lunch. Here, it is given a more modern, American treatment. Adapted from "Everyday with Rachael Ray," August 2009. Serve with white rice, pickled jalapeno slices, and thin orange slices. -- posted by Ice Cool Kitty

This is a great and versatile soup that can be modified in so many ways to fit your tastes. Awesome comfort food, easy to prepare, and tastes great served right away or leftover.

Roasted corn and fresh ingredients make this salsa a delicous snack with chips, or a great topper for any of your mexican/spanish dishes.

Also has a very light and fresh flavor. -- posted by Surround Sound

Ultimate Taquitos OAMC

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 10:22:31 -0400

These taquitos are perfect for a healthy lunch, snack, appetizer, or dinner. I love that you just pop them from freezer to baking pan for a last minute meal. They are our favorite OAMC meal and they disappear very soon after I load the freezer with them! The hot-oil dipping step makes the tortillas very easy to work with and also makes it so when you take them out of the freezer, all you have to do that night is toss them in the oven to heat -- no frying mess on eating night. I have learned to have extra tortillas and extra oil on hand so I don't have to run to the store to get more in case the batch goes further than I planned! -- posted by StephanieZ

Fresh Corn, Black Beans, and Tomato Salad

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:26:42 -0400

Another great tasting recipe from Cook's Illustrated: Fresh off the cob is perhaps the best way to eat summer corn, but corn tossed with beans and tomatoes is a close second. The sweetness of the beans and the acidity of the tomatoes bring out the flavor of the corn. We wanted to find the best way to combine and flavor this trio. Heres what we discovered: Boil the ears of corn until just tender, then cool them quickly under running water so that they dont overcook. Canned black beans taste fine, as long as you rinse and drain them thoroughly to remove any of the liquid in which they come packed. Choose sweet-tasting, firm-textured grape or cherry tomatoes. They release less watery juice into the salad than diced full-size tomatoes do. -- posted by Pi-E

South of the Border Tomato Black Bean Soup

I used my own beef broth from http://www.recipezaar.com/Shredded-Beef-for-French-Dips-Crock-Pot-155355 which probably made it less healthy, but my husband and I both liked it. -- posted by Scrivener1

Black Bean & Sweet Potato Enchiladas

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 17:17:03 -0400

Yummy! Adapted from "Vegan Planet," this recipe is something my non-vegetarian hubby requests regularly. Roasting the sweet potatoes is absolutely the key to this recipe - I've cooked them other ways before and it turns out much less flavorful. It looks like a lot of ingredients, but it goes together quickly and makes great left overs too! In the future, I plan to try substituting the salsa for homemade enchilada sauce and more tomatoes. -- posted by Veggie_Girl

Something especially nice to pack for lunch from the LA Times. Even without microwave access, the soup travels well in a widemouth thermos & the salsa & toasts need no refrigeration for a few hours. Such a tasty lunch would be hard to come by at any price. Throw a few Recipe#13126 on the side as a piquant ward off for October vampires & you are set!

Easy Vegetarian/Vegan Black Bean Soup

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:10:37 -0400

Hearty, yummy, and healthy! This is a really easy soup to make, it cooks really fast without many steps, and is very rich with black beans. Some fresh cilantro would make a nice replacement to the coriander but I usually don't have it on hand, so I used dry spices for everything but it came out great. I like my soups with a tad of salt, but you can omit the salt if you're watching your sodium intake or lower it/replace with something like SaltSense. It's very pleasant and mild, though you could probably put some Bayou Blast or red cayenne in the spice mixture if you want it hotter. Yields about 2-3 small servings. -- posted by the80srule

I wanted something that was cool, crunchy, tangy, spicy and a little sweet that would meet my diet requirements and was not your typical diet food. This is my version of a fresh veggie relish/salad that is great alone or when paired with seafood, beef, pork etc... Perfect in a warmed flour tortillas wrap with some shrimp, or a lettuce wrap with a bit of Avacado. It can be used with seafood, chicken, beef or pork as a relish. Or as I like it, alone for lunch. High fiber, low fat and awesome taste. I hope you enjoy it. XOXOXOXOXO Lynn -- posted by Hugsandkisses

Not your traditional chili. I often play around with it adding different kinds of beans, sometimes 2 cans sometimes 3. -- posted by Kristin D.

Rice and Black Beans With Peppers and Garlic

I usually add ukranian sausage to this, but it also works well with leftover chicken or any type of sausage. It's also good without any meat as a vegetarian dish or as a side. -- posted by Lady Bathory

I'm not sure where this recipe came from but my Aunt made it and I asked her for the recipe. "A colorful and very tasty cold salad that is an excellent addition to any barbecue. The cilantro dressing gives it a wonderfully fresh and zesty flavor." -- posted by Emily B.

Veggie Nachos

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:21:08 -0500

These nachos are full of protein and fiber and look beautiful to boot. Take it easy on the cheese and make it low-fat. This recipe heats the chips so make use of the chips remaining in the bottom of various bags. My sister and I made this live on my podcast. It's vegetarian and easy and I was surprised there wasn't one like this on 'zaar. This version is fairly quick for two and can be made as spicy as you like by adding jalapenos or hot salsa. Enjoy! -- posted by VeggieVal

Feijoada (Brazilian Black Bean and Mixed Meat Stew) With Orange

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:17:55 -0500

Traditionally eaten on Wednesday's and Saturday's throughout Brazil with white rice and oranges (amongst other things), this special and rich meaty slow cooked stew has a depth of flavour using simple ingredients that could bring 'ooohs' and 'aaaahh's' from across the Atlantic I'm sure. I save my version for special occasions when I want a really hearty shared meal and I love the way the beans melt into the sauce lending their luxurious almost creamy texture to the finished dish. Originally this was made by African slaves using fatty offal scraps and as tasty as it was (I've tried this version and it is pretty good!) many people nowadays, including myself, make it lighter and use better quality meats. The Orange and Coriander salad is not compulsory but comes very highly recommended. Absolutely Outstanding. -- posted by robd16
