preraphaeliteA variation on my standard beans n' veggies.
1.5 zucchini (for me - a medium one and a small one) - shredded (I used the small julienne on my mandoline)
1 can pinto beans, drained.
1 can diced tomato
1/2 large onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
~1t paprika, allspice, oregano, cumin
salt, pepper
Cook onion ~10m, add spices and garlic, cook ~2m. Add zucchini and stir to combine. Cook ~10m or until zucchini starts to soften up. add tomato and beans. Simmer covered - ~15-20m or until at desired consistency.
I think probably I like this so much because the zucchini registers simply as Hearty Nonspecific Vegetable, and its texture (which I usually don't like) is sort of melted into the stew in pleasant fashion.
I have been getting lots of potatoes in the farmshare, so ended up serving this over quartered boiled small potatoes -- fantastic!
