Four bean stew

[Guest guest]

Hearty Four Bean Stew - RecipeAdapted from The Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook, by Cybele Pascal (Vital Health Publishing, 2005). Simple SolutionBeans are a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet, packed with fiber and protein without a lot of fat or cholesterol. The flavor of this hearty stew--with its touch of honey, lime, and Dijon mustard along with healthful garlic and fresh parsley--makes it taste like you labored over the stove for hours, even though you won't have to! We serve this nourishing stew with biscuits or a loaf of crusty bread, but those with wheat allergies might enjoy it with puffed mochi. Any way you dish it up, Hearty Four Bean Stew is sure to please: this is one-pot cooking at its finest.
