Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1/2 orange bell pepper, diced
5 leaves swiss chard, chopped; stems and leaves separated
5 cremini mushrooms, sliced
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 ounces cherry tomatoes, cut in half
2 15-ounce cans white beans*, drained and rinsed
Optional: cooked white or brown rice, for serving
Instructions
Sauté: warm the olive oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan. Add the onion and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, until translucent Add the bell pepper, swiss chard stems, mushrooms, and italian seasoning and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated out of the pan.
Make it Beany: Add the garlic, tomatoes, and white beans to the veggies with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until the tomatoes have softened. Turn off the heat and stir in the swiss chard greens; let sit for a couple of minutes, until wilted. Add additional salt to taste, if necessary.
Serve: serve with rice, or as desired. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Notes
Beans: I used Great Northern Beans, but cannelini, navy, or garbanzo beans would also work well.
Oil-Free: sauté the onion in water instead of oil.
