The creamy tomato beans I'm obsessed with
Literally can't wait for you to try them 🫘
I’ve had “creamy tomato beans” on my recipe brainstorm list for a while now, and I recently threw them together when I spotted some canned beans and coconut milk suggestively standing next to each other in the cupboard. The stewed beans turned out solid and I quickly snuck a few spoonfuls before heading out to my dance class.
When I checked my phone upon arriving at the studio, I saw a two-word message from my husband, who had since gotten home from work: “Good beans.”
Now, to you this may seem like a whatever text, but to me, this was big. Rene is not generally thrilled about bean-based meals, and is also a man of few words. So the fact that he made it a point to compliment the contents of the skillet on the stove meant we were dealing with something truly special.
These beans are rich, saucy, and savory, and have a slight tang from sun-dried tomatoes. They’re made entirely with pantry staples, and are an easy, satisfying lunch/dinner option, especially when paired with grilled bread and a green salad.
