Recipes range from hearty stews to salads and desserts.
All are quick and easy to make - this one should be ready in about 20 minutes. Spitler explains that you can make up the amount of beans called for by using any kind of canned or cooked dried beans that you like. One 15-ounce can of drained beans yields 1 cups of beans. Season to taste with salt and pepper. While stew is simmering, mix polenta in medium saucepan with enough additional broth to achieve desired consistency.
