Baked Mix Bean Medley

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 80 grams mixed beans (such as kidney beans, black beans, and chickpeas), soaked and cooked
• 50 grams finely chopped onion
• 50 grams finely chopped bell pepper
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons minced ginger

Procedure:

• In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Sauté until the onions are translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
• Add the chopped bell pepper and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in the ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked mixed beans and sautéed vegetables. Add the chopped tomatoes and lemon juice, and mix well to combine.
