Curried Kidney Beans

PREPARATION TIME: 10 minutes    COOKING TIME: 15 minutes     SERVES: 4

This dish is traditionally served as a bread dip, but for convenience, you can serve it on a roll.

1 Tbsp. olive

1 onion, peeled and chopped

2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

1-2 jalapeno peppers, chopped

½ tsp. curry powder

1 (16 oz.) can red kidney

Cooking Instructions

In a sieve, drain the beans and rinse them under cold running water. Drain again.

1.

4 rolls, split

In a large nonstick skillet or saucepan, heat the oil. Add the onion, garlic, and jalapeno peppers, and sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes until the onion is limp. Add the beans, chili powder, curry powder, tomato sauce, and salt. (If a hotter sauce is desired, add the jalapeno relish). Simmer over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes.  

2.

¼ cup spicy tomato sauce

1-2 Tbsp. hot jalapeno relish (optional)

Salt to taste

2 Tbsp. whipped butter or margarine

½ tsp. chili powder

1 ripe tomato, thinly sliced

1 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

While the beans are simmering, scoop out the centers of the rolls to form a hollow. Brush the cut side of the rolls with butter, and toast.
