WHITE BEANS and PEPPERS

WHITE BEANS and PEPPERS

“Any sweet pepper will work in this side dish, but some like the delicate spiciness of the long pointy gypsy pepper.”


1 tsp. olive oil
¼ large onion, chopped
1 yellow gypsy (bull horn) sweet pepper, chopped
1 (15-oz.) can great northern beans, drained
1 pinch dried oregano
ground cayenne pepper to taste
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste


Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and sweet pepper, and cook until tender. Mix in beans. Season with oregano, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until beans are heated through.


Yield: 4 servings.
