Tender Bean, Potato & Onion Stew
Recipe found in The Blue Zones Kitchen. Slight modification to substitute initial oil with vegetable broth.

Featured in almost every Nicoyan meal, black beans contain high levels of anthocyanins and have 10 times the antioxidants of an equivalent serving of oranges. Rich and hearty, this one-pot meal is a staple in Costa Rica.

It’s easy to make and costs less than $1 a serving.
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. dried kidney beans, soaked overnight (or three 15-oz. cans, drained)
  • 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 chayote squash, diced (or zucchini)
  • 1⁄2 carrot, peeled and diced
  • 3 red, orange or yellow sweet peppers, seeded and diced
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 tsp. chopped culantro [(or 4 tsp cilantro), and optionally add mint and parsley
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper (optional)
