VEGGIE BEANS RECIPES

Steps:

• Place navy beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight.
• Drain navy beans and put into a pot with 5 cups water.
• Bring water to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until beans are tender, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Combine beans, onion, brown sugar, molasses, vinegar, mustard, garlic, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a 2-quart casserole dish with a lid; season with pepper. Place lid on dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven, 5 to 7 hours, stirring halfway through and adding water if mixture is too dry. Remove lid and bake until mixture has reduced to desired thickness, about 1 hour more.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms and ¼ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until brown and some liquid is released, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms and liquid to a medium bowl; reserve the skillet.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil to the skillet. Add the zucchini and ¼ teaspoon salt and cook, tossing once, until brown and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the mushrooms; reserve the skillet.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the onion, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
• Add the beans, red pepper, mushrooms and zucchini, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring, until the beans are warm, 1 to 2 minutes.
