This dish is inspired by the Moroccan/Lebanese/Algerian dish loubia. It’s fragrant and hearty without being heavy. And it’s absolutely perfect with the raw carrot salad from my last post. Oh, and did I mention that it’s super quick to make? Well, it’s super quick to make! 😀 It’s a short post today folks… I want to try to catch some sunshine before the rain starts to fall this afternoon.
Have a great weekend! 😀

Lovely white bean dish. You know I love these flavors. 🙂 Hope you got to catch the rays before the rain came down. 🙂
I love anything with beans, and white beans are a particular favorite. I bet this would also be great mashed up in a food processor to make a delicious dip!

I love this! My husband won’t go near beans, so I think I’ll try this recipe with cooked lentils instead. Sounds delicious!
