Cabbage & Cannellini Beans for St Patrick's Day

This dish is posted on the McDougall board. Thanks, Gin for sharing.

½ pound dry cannellini beans (or white beans)
Rinse, soak per directions, drain.

Add soaked beans to 2-3 cups of water and boil for 45 minutes. Add:
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 veggie bouillon cube
1 tbsp. yellow mustard powder
½ head cabbage, chopped
1 tsp. caraway seeds
3 tbsp. yellow mustard
1 tsp. black pepper

Reduce to a simmer and cook until cabbage is tender. Stir in ¼ cup of whole grain mustard.

For the dry beans, you can substitute 2 cans of great northern beans or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained. Just add them after the cabbage is cooked.

( I have frozen cooked cannellini so I used that and just added it in the last few minutes of cooking the cabbage. I didn't have whole grain mustard, so I just put extra of the other mustards.)

I am also making avocado smoothie, but won't be able to post any picture. More on that later!

There you have it, folks. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

There's something about cabbage in soup that is just SO YUMMY! I don't know how to shred cabbage very well, so I usually buy a bag of "pre shredded" cabbage, throw in in the soup.

I should figure out how to shred it, however, because it's on sale for 13 cents a pound right now...

BTW, my blog is back online. ;o)

I totally miss Saint Patty's day this year! I will have to do a belated one.

Hope all is well!
