Arugula with Great Northern Beans 蒜煮芸芥菜意大利白豆

Definitely, <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2010/05/dried-or-canned-lentils-easy-lentil.html">bulk dried beans</a> is a better purchase in terms of grocery cost-savings, and more nutritious as whole-food-ingredients that has been minimally processed; but <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/02/one-pot-beans-and-lentils.html">canned beans</a>, to me, is a time-saver especially when there is no need to soak the <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2011/09/yellow-split-peas-or-split-pigeon-peas.html">dried beans</a> overnight, and boil the beans for 45 minutes to an hour.<br /><br />True, some nutrition might have been lost in the processing/canning stage but next to frozen vegetables (peas and corns), canned beans is the next less-guilty convenient "processed" food item that can be considered minimally processed - typically just beans, and water (and sometimes salt) in the ingredient list. <br /><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7761/18207676122_871f98c06a_z.jpg" /><br /><br />That said, I like to use <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2011/09/yellow-split-peas-or-split-pigeon-peas.html">dried beans</a> and boil them to cook, from scratch. The texture of dried beans that have been boiled to cook is different from <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/02/one-pot-beans-and-lentils.html">canned beans</a>. I only rely on canned beans in situations when I have to put together a meal quickly without much hassle.<br /><br />For example, with canned beans, a side-dish like this <b>Arugula and Organic Great Northern Bean</b> can be put together in less than 20 minutes. Top with an egg and that makes breakfast or even lunch.<br /><a name="more"></a><br /><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7754/18025140939_8c081c0364_z.jpg " /> <br /><br /><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=ss_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=anestofo-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B0076NOGPY&asins=B0076NOGPY&linkId=ZVINMIFBCJS5ZW7D&show_border=false&link_opens_in_new_window=true" style="height: 240px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 120px;"></iframe><b>Arugula with Great Northern Beans 蒜煮芸芥菜意大利白豆</b><br /><i>Ingredients</i>:<br />3 cloves garlic, finely minced<br />Handfuls of organic arugula<br />1 can organic great northern beans, rinsed a few times to remove the bubbles/scum<br />Salt and pepper to taste<br /><br /><i>Directions</i>: Saute the garlic, add the arugula, then the beans and quickly simmer/cook low-medium, pan/pot covered for about 10 minutes.
