Introduction
Popular Mediterranean dish*You can find Pepper paste at Middle Eastern specialty stores. The one we use is called Ajvar, it comes as Mild or Hot Pepper Paste, or Vegetable Paste. When mixing with Tomato Paste for recipes, I usually use 2:1 Tom:Pep paste.
****Traditionally, this is made with stewed beef or lamb. You can stew the beef or lamb in a few cups of water with salt & tomato paste for several hours, & add the beans at the end, or prepare it the traditional way, in a pressure cooker, together with dry beans, for about an hour.

Ingredients
-
2 small-medium onions
1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cans White Kidney Beans (yield 4 cups)
2 cups water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup Tomato Paste and/or Pepper Paste*
Directions
*To reduce the fat yield you can fry the onions in a bit of water, but EVOO is actually very heart healthy.
*You can also eliminate the salt for lower sodium, and/or boil your own beans.
1. Chop & fry the onions in EVOO for 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the Tomato and/or Pepper Paste & stir in.
3. Rinse the Beans very well and add.
4. Add 2 cups water (approximately - the colour should be a rich red - not too dark but not too watered down either)
5. Bring to a boil & reduce heat to med-low.
6. Boil for 5 minutes until the foam starts to dissipate.
Yield 6 * 1 cup servings. You can eat it as a soup, or serve it over a bed of rice.
