White Beans and Spinach

Sitting around on a rainy day trying to figure out what to do with the veggies from the veggie box. Here's a quick and hearty dish to warm you up on a cold day:

White Beans and Spinach

1/4 cup olive oil

3 cloves garlic

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp salt

1 lbs green onion (or 1 yellow or white onion diced)

1 medium bunch carrot tops, minced (optional)

3 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar

2 lbs spinach

1 tsp smoked paprika

2 tbsp brown sugar

2 15oz cans white beans, undrained

Mince the garlic and finely slice the green onion. Roughly chop the spinach.

In a large pot over high heat, add the olive oil, garlic, black pepper and salt, stirring constantly. When the garlic just begins to brown, add the onions and carrot tops. Stir every minute or so until the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes, then add the lemon juice, spinach and smoked paprika.

Stir occasionally until the spinach wilts, about 5 minutes, then add the beans and brown sugar. Stir until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Bon Apetit!
