What the Hell is He Eating Today?

So I made my food schedule for the next week today, and since I promised to post a recipe or two, here's one that I am very much looking forward to eating. I figure it will be a nice change to the previous posts focus on flatulence. 

Mixed Bean Portobello Ragout

10oz baby Lima beans (frozen)
1 cup green beans, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 1/2 cup sliced/halved portobello
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp cold water
2 tsp cornstarch
1 can Italian/Cajun stewed tomatoes
1 cup chickpeas

Cook lima/green beans according to packaged instructions (i.e boil until tender). In large skillet cook mushrooms in olive oil on medium heat for five minutes. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water, then mix into mushrooms. Stir in chickpeas and tomatoes undrained. Cook on medium heat until it thickens and bubbles. Add green/lima beans and reduce heat. Let simmer until heated through. Season to taste, serve with bread.


This stuff is easily more filling than any meat stew I have ever made, however the flavor can be a little light. I am going to experiment with adding some squash to this recipe and playing around with spices until I find something I really like. Give it a shot yourself! Its easy and awesome!


Cheers and happy eating!
