beans and tomatoes

Isn’t there a meme about these food items? Good for breakfast with a side of cheesy eggs, dinner with crusty bread to dip, or as a side dish. Serves 2 meals/4 side dishes.

  • 2 cloves minced garlic

  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Cook the garlic and red pepper in the olive oil over medium heat for one minute. Add the tomato and parsley, and cook for another two minutes.

Add the beans and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the broth/water and salt to taste. Sprinkle with parmesan before serving.
