Kidney Beans, Rice and Acorn Squash

Ingredients (use vegan versions): 1 can Kidney beans 2 cups brown basmati rice, cooked 1/2 medium vidalia (yellow) onion, diced and sauted (carmelized) 3 tablespoon diced sundried tomato (gives a tangy bite to an otherwise sweet dish) 1 tablespoon
dried bazil 1/4 teaspoon red/cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon cardamom 1 teaspoon cumin (I didn't try this) 3 slices acorn squash, cooked and diced small (1 cup or more) Directions: Heat up kidney beans then mash beans with their liquid. Mix spices and tomato with sauted onion, heat 2 minutes. Mix rice with mashed beans, add onion/tomato mix, simmer 2 minutes, add acorn squash. Serves 2. This has a pretty robust look to it, tastes sweet, spicey and a bit sour due to the tomato. Capers may be added (1 tbs/cup) for a green juicy note. The tomato may be wrong for this dish since the contrast is great, YMMV. Serves: more Free recipe and All Free recipe
