Lately I’ve been keeping a rotating stock of cooked beans in the fridge for quick stews, salads and side dishes. This hearty dish comes together super quickly and folding in a dollop of farm cheese adds luxurious creaminess, probiotics and protein.

I’ve been really into North African flavors lately and this dish is a simple way to cook outside of your comfort zone and integrate new flavor profiles. It makes a perfect hearty breakfast or an easy, quick lunch.
