You already know that I am on a crusade to increase your fiber intake just because it is good for you! This is a high-fiber recipe and is a variation of a spread from the book of Leanne Brown, Good and Cheap, available free online. I just prepared the spread and it tasted divine.
You will need:
15 oz beans (garbanzo or navy), 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, 3 cloves of garlic, 3 Tbsp olive oil, hot pepper flakes, and paprika.
How to:
Divide the beans into two equal batches. Mash the first batch of beans with some of the can liquid by hand or blend it with a food processor. Heat the oil in a pan and add the minced (pressed) garlic for a few seconds carefully watching not to burn it. Add the second part of beans (the ones that were left whole) to the pan and heat for 2 minutes. Add the thawed spinach (after removing as much of the spinach liquid as possible), stir to incorporate. Finally, add the blended beans, the pepper flakes and the paprika. Mix, remove from the heat, store in a jar and use as a sandwich topping. Optionally: add spices of your preference and some lemon juice. I did not add salt since the beans are already prepared with salt.
