I don't want to be a Fat Guy any more but I still want to eat like a guy.
White Bean and Tomato Compote
Created by Steve,
Description
Beans are cheap, low in fat and good for your heart even they do make you fart. This makes a great side dish to every meat or fish dish that I've tried and it can even be served as a topping for bruschetta.

Makes
6 servings
2 15 oz. cans canelli beans
1 14 oz. can diced or petite diced tomatoes
1 T olive oil
1 onion, medium to large diced a little smaller then the beans
2-6 cloves garlic chopped (I love it with 6 and no one has complained)
1 sprig fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dried oregano
Fresh ground pepper and maybe a pinch salt
1 14 oz. can diced or petite diced tomatoes

2-6 cloves garlic chopped (I love it with 6 and no one has complained)
1 sprig fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dried oregano
Fresh ground pepper and maybe a pinch salt
Methods/steps
- Drain and rinse the beans as the liquid in the can muddies the flavor. Pour out most of the juice from the tomatoes (I usually drink this).
- Sweat the onions over medium low heat until soft in the olive oil. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant. Add the tomatoes, beans and herb of choice. Cook for a few minutes or longer if using a sprig of time. 5 minutes is enough for the flavors to blend but I've left it on warm stove for a lot longer.

Greek salads are wonderful but too often they don't fit into a healthy diet because they're dripping oiling dressing. This low fat Greek salad recipes lightens the load but not the flavor.

Additional Tips
You can add some red pepper to onions, use bay leaf or sage instead of the herbs above and adding chopped black olives is pretty good too.
