Warmly greet loved ones with a comforting Italian stew atop creamy polenta.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1 medium yellow or green bell pepper, coarsely chopped (1 cup)
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
  • 2 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices (1 cup)
  • 2 cans (14.5 oz each) Muir Glen™ organic diced tomatoes with Italian herbs, undrained
  • 1 can (15 to 16 oz) black-eyed peas, drained, rinsed
  • 1 can (19 oz) Progresso™ cannellini (white kidney) beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tube (16 oz) refrigerated polenta
  • 1 cup frozen cut green beans
Instructions:
  • In a large Dutch oven, sauté onion, bell pepper, and garlic in oil over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often, until onion is soft.
  • Add all remaining ingredients to the pot except for the polenta and green beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and the stew is hot. While the stew is cooking, prepare the polenta following the package instructions and keep it warm.
