Jambalaya

You may notice a new recipe trend involving lots of vegetables and not so much meat...I know its kind of different from the standard a lot of us are used to, but its still super filling and ridiculously delicious. Trust me, I don't eat gross food. At least not more than once. This recipe however, may end up a staple at my house...the coconut gives it the best flavor!


Ingredients

1-2 cans dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 green pepper, chopped
1-2 stalks celery, chopped
1 T olive oil
1-2 cans diced tomatoes
1/2 cup shredded coconut
5-6 sliced mushrooms
anything else you feel like adding (yes, this can include meat if you really want it)

Directions

Saute green pepper and celery (and any other crunchy veggies you might add) in olive oil for 2-3 minutes in a medium saucepan. Add the rest of ingredients, bring to a light boil, cover and simmer for approx. 10 min.

Serve over white or brown(!) rice and seriously enjoy. Yum!
