My husband recently met with a kinesiologist who told him that meat five days a week is fine, but for the other two dinners, he'd need to use beans as his protein. This isn't a huge problem for us, because we do eat a lot of beans and we do cook vegetarian some nights, but it did leave me wanting to find some new recipes to add to our repertoire.Well, the first thing I realized is that there are a lot of bean recipes that include meat in them as well. After some searching, I found one that we were both really excited to try. And since my three-year-old loves corn, I thought the polenta would appeal to him.
Catalan sauteed polenta and butter beans is so easy to prepare it seems almost wrong. Using prepared polenta, baby spinach, canned beans, and onion, garlic and other flavorings, it is a well-balanced, healthy, vegetarian meal. Holler if you try this one -- I'd love to know how it turned out!
