Mediterranean Beans are a simple, yet tasty way to get beans on the table quickly. These beans get their flavor from a mixture of herbs and vegetables. When the Mediterranean beans are ready for serving, some good quality extra virgin olive oil is added to the pot to give it a definitive Mediterranean flair. Because Mediterranean beans are made with small white beans, they cook quickly. These will become a favorite in your household as they have in mine. A bowl of these beans, paired with a green salad makes a hearty and satisfying meal.
We love beans here at Patty Cake’s Pantry, so having a bowl of Mediterranean Beans with a salad during our thirty days of vegan recipes didn’t feel like a hardship. Often, we flavor our beans with meat, but the addition of the extra virgin olive oil along with all of the flavor from the vegetables and the oregano ensured that we didn’t miss the meat.
