Introduction

Inspired by the Flying Apron's cookbook for GF, vegan delicacies! I like serving hearty portions over soft polenta or brown rice. Inspired by the Flying Apron's cookbook for GF, vegan delicacies! I like serving hearty portions over soft polenta or brown rice.

Ingredients

    1/4 cup water
    1 large onion, thinly sliced
    1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
    1 cup white kidney (cannellini) beans
    4 garlic cloves, minced
    4 large portobello mushrooms, sliced into 1" strips
    4 shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
    sea salt
    coarse black pepper
    1/2 tbsp dried basil
    1/2 tbsp dried oregano
    1 tsp dried thyme
    1/2 cup julienned sun-dried tomatoes (not the ones in oil), soaked in hot water and drained
    8 oz loosely packed baby spinach, divided
    zest of 1/2 lemon
    1/4 cup vegetable broth

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a large, deep saute pan over medium heat, bring the water to a simmer.
Add the onion and pepper, and saute until onion is slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the beans and garlic and cook 3 minutes longer, then add mushrooms and raise the heat to medium high. Cook, stirring, until mushrooms have released their liquid and have begun to brown (about 7-8 minutes).
Season with salt and pepper, then add basil, oregano, thyme and tomatoes and stir well to combine, adding a little of the soaking water if necessary.
Stir in half of the spinach and the lemon zest.
Cook, tossing well and adding dashes of liquid as necessary, 8 minutes.
Pour into a casserole dish, add vegetable broth and bake, covered, for 15 minutes.
Un-cover, stir in remaining spinach and bake a further 5 minutes, until thick.
