AFRICAN BEANS WITH COLLARDS
This was inspired by a recipe for African Beans posted by Karen Elizabeth. I added some mushrooms and greens and made some changes to make it more in keeping with a Nutritarian eating style. You can shorten prep time by using jarred garlic, frozen collards, onions and mushrooms.

Steps:
- Wash, de-stem and chop the collards. Add raisins to collards and set aside. The easiest way to prepare collards is to work from the back of the leaf. Slice down each side of the stem and put leaves in a pile. Roll the pile of leaves and slice thinly crosswise, then slice diagonally into 1 to 2 inch pieces.
- Chop garlic, onions and mushrooms and set aside.
- Combine tomatoes, coconut, paprika, chili powder, cumin, black pepper, beans and water and set aside.
- Coat large covered non-stick frying pan or Dutch oven (at least 5 quarts) with oil. Add garlic, onions and mushrooms. Cook covered, stirring frequently until soft, adding small amounts of water as needed to prevent sticking.
- Add as many greens as will fit with a small amount of water if needed to prevent sticking. Cover and allow collards to wilt. Keep adding collards and mixing frequently until all have been added.
- Add tomato mixture and continue cooking, stirring frequently for about 5 to 7 minutes or until greens are tender but still nice and bright, adding small amounts of water if needed to prevent sticking.

COLLARD GREENS WITH BLACK BEANS
This is a simple Nutritarian style meal that uses commercial pasta sauce and canned beans. You can reduce prep time by using frozen collards, onions and mushrooms. The dish doesn't take the whole jar of pasta sauce. I freeze the remaining cup for use another time.

AFRICAN BEANS
Nb. The recipe calls for dry beans, I use tinned, approx. 420gr size, and if I haven't got black-eyed I use cannelli or borlotti or any smallish white bean; cuts down on cooking time This is a vegetarian dish intended as a main meal, but it makes a great side dish as well. A good variation is to add sautéed sliced mushrooms with the onions, and I usually add garlic as well. Its good served immediately, but if you refrigerate and heat the next day its even better.

Steps:
- Place the bacon in a large, deep pan with a lid, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon pieces from the pan, and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, and stir the sliced onion into the hot bacon fat. Cook and stir the onion until it begins to brown, scraping the bits off the bottom of the pan, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook and stir 4 more minutes. Return the bacon to the pan, stir in the collard greens, and toss gently until the greens are wilted, about 3 minutes.
- Pour in the water to almost cover the collard greens, and stir in the brown sugar, vinegar, crushed red pepper, and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer the collard greens until very tender, 1 to 2 hours.
- About 1/2 hour before serving, stir the cannellini beans into the collard greens, and return to a simmer.

STEWED COLLARD GREENS AND WHITE BEANS
Cannellini beans are full of fiber and protein. Collards, rich in vitamins A and K and calcium, are in the cancer-fighting cruciferous family. Parmesan rind -- don't toss it! -- lends an incredibly rich flavor. (No bacon required.) Use leftovers to make a Collard Greens and White Beans Quesadilla.

WEST AFRICAN BEANS
I love this dish! My late husband was from Cameroon (fr.West Africa) He taught me to cook their dishes. When I prepare these recipes, I am thankful for having the opportunity for such a wonderful cultural experience. The more you make this dish, the better you get at it. Actually, the beans are a healthy food and very filling. You can add Meat and make this a one-dish meal. A loaf of french bread is great with it. *062910-thank you toubabou-ke member_id=1342512 for pointing out the palm oil. I do use palm oil but for confusion sake I didn't post it. Just kept it simple for other chefs:P* I have also used coconut oil.
