Buffalo Beans and Greens
These Buffalo beans and greens pack in a whole lot of nutrition and flavor on a shoestring budget. I just can't get enough!
Servings: 4 (about 1.5 cups each)
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter $0.75
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced small $0.39
- 3 celery stalks, diced small $0.26
- 2 medium carrots, diced small $0.26
- 6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced $0.42
- 2 15oz. cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed $2.56
- 1/4 cup Buffalo-style hot sauce* $0.52
- 2 tbsp water $0.00
- 2 cups fresh kale, chopped $0.50
- 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing $0.31
- 3 cups white rice, cooked $0.64
Instructions
- Cook rice according to package directions. (1 dry cup will yield about 3 cooked cups of rice.) Drain and rinse the cannellini beans.
- Dice celery, yellow onion, and carrots to make a mirepoix.
- Add the butter, celery, onions, and carrots to a large skillet. Sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or just until the veggies begin to soften. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Add the white beans, Buffalo-style hot sauce and water to the skillet. Stir and cook over medium heat until the beans are heated through.
- Add the kale to the pan and stir until bright green and wilted. No need to cook for too long. Serve a heaping spoonful on top of rice, drizzling blue cheese dressing over the top. Add salt and pepper to taste, if needed. Enjoy!
