Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 I make this dish at least once a month. It's from Lean and Luscious and Meatless. Yummy on risotto! Yesterday I tried it in the slow cooker, and it worked fine. I slow-cooked it for about 6 hours. I'm offering the recipe right out of the cookbook below, but I only use 1 TB of oil and I don't use the cornstarch. I like it a little juicy for the rice. I have successfully substituted pineapple juice for the apple juice. Enjoy! Linda ********************************* Sweet and Tangy Butter Beans (makes 6 svgs) 2 TB oil 1 cup chopped onion 1 cup chopped sweet red pepper 1 clove garlic, finely chopped 1 8oz can tomato sauce 1/3 cup apple juice 1 TB brown sugar 1 TB vinegar 1 tsp prepared yellow mustard 2 1-lb cans butter beans, rinsed and drained 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch 2 TB water Preheat over to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a 1.5 quart baking dish or spray with a nonstick cooking spray. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions, red pepper, and garlic. Cook until onions are tender and start to brown, abotu 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Add remaining ingredients, dissolving cornstarch in the 2 TB of water before adding. Mix well. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Bake, uncovered 1 hour. *************************************** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a copy. Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
