Submitted by Kitzy

"This is really quick to put together and tastes great piled on top of jacket potatoes. However I'm sure it'd work equally well with rice."

Cheap, easy, and healthy! My favorite things these days. I had this topping over baked white potatoes, which was good, but I'm thinking of trying it with sweet potatoes next. I also think I will try it with white beans, as they are creamier and will make for a nicer contrast with the potato than butter beans.

I doubled the ingredients, added mushrooms and served it over rice and it was delicious! Quick, very low fat and wonderful. Thanks so much.

This was a very tasty, economical, and easy lunch dish for my husband and me. I doubled the recipe so we would have leftovers, and we fought over round 2! I used a can of diced tomatoes and butter beans, which I hadn't had in years. For a home of regular bean-eaters, this was a delicious change of pace. Thanks for sharing!

This was a treat to make and to eat. I loved the flavour mix of onion, garlic, tomato and spinach, and the beans are a wonderful protein addition. I used 2 tsp of butter to saute the onion and garlic and substituted canned mixed beans for the butter beans. I love the curry flavour and next time will increase it to 1 1/2 tsp. Healthy and tasty! Thank you, Kitzy :)

Quick, healthy, TASTY supper! I had it on oven-crispy baked potatoes which is a wonderful suggestion. Oh yes, and used navy beans since I can't find butter beans anywhere. This could be so versatile, using different spices or beans. An excellent keeper!
