You’ll love this plant-based comfort food recipe.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 white onion, sliced
2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
Himalayan salt, to taste
1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
6 big handfuls of fresh spinach, chopped
½ cup (60 g) feta cheese, crumbled
Zest of 1 lemon
Ground black pepper to taste
Directions:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the onion and saute until it starts to soften, 4 - 5 minutes.
Add the potatoes and 2 pinches of salt, tossing well to combine. Cover the skillet and cook for 8 - 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure the potatoes brown on all sides.
Add the beans and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the spinach and cook till wilted, about 3 - 5 minutes.
Take off the stove and stir in the cheese, lemon, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately.
To make it vegan: Instead of cheese, use ¼ cup (40 g) nutritional yeast and 1 tsp garlic powder (or use prepared vegan “cheese”).
Make it decadent: Serve with a poached / fried egg on top of each serving.
Toss in extras: add veggies you have on-hand to the combo - diced beets, carrots, celery would all be delicious.
