No picture today, because this dish is ugly! But it tastes good, and it goes inside a sandwich ... so no one cares what it looks like. I made this Black Bean and Green Olive sandwich filling when I realized I had no baked tofu or tempeh for our sandwiches tomorrow. It has three ingredients ... hard to beat that!
Black Bean and Green Olive Sandwich Spread
Ingredients:
3 T. refried black beans (I use the organic, vegetarian ones from Bearitos - they are SO good!)
2-3 jumbo, or 4-5 regular-sized, green olives
1 T. salsa (I use Trader Joe's salsa verde; use something spicier if you want more kick.)
Directions:
- Chop olives into small pieces.
- Mix all ingredients and spread on pita or firm bread.
I needed a sandwich lunch to take to a meeting today - didn't have any green olives so used black. It tastes good but I think green would give it more flavor - will get some and try it.
ReplyDeleteHi Mom -
ReplyDeleteYeah, I do think that the black olives are probably too mild. But maybe adding something sour, like some lime juice, would help if black is all you've got.
black beans and olives, how could is possibly go wrong!?! I'm looking for vegan meal ideas (for just one person even) to take as lunch. This fits the bill perfectly as I just made a big ole pot of black beans. Thank you for posting this recipe, Becki. I bookmarked your blog as well and look forward to reading it :)
