Vegetarian comfort food at it's finest: creamy smoky beans paired with polenta.
Tips & Tricks: Leave out the butter in the polenta or use a vegan substitute to make the overall dish vegan. If you need to cook the beans from their dried version, I prefer the quick-soak version found on this page.
After making these beans a couple of times more, I find I like a splash of acid in these beans. Try a tablespoon or so of sherry or balsamic vinegar to the mix!
Stock up: get the pantry ingredients you will need: tomato paste, smoked paprika
Nutrition: see the information (includes vegan polenta base).
