Black Bean Artichokes

Bean Protein Vegan Dinner

This is a quick recipe that basically involves veggies and a vegan protein source - today featuring black beans!


Ingredients: 

  • 2 cans artichokes (drained, no salt), or 3 cups fresh artichokes 
  • 1diced red onion
  • 1-3 tbsp. crushed garlic
  • 2 cans organic black beans
  • squeeze of half a lemon
  • sea salt or Trader Joe's everyday seasoning to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil


In a large saucepan, saute the artichokes with garlic over medium/high heat. You can use a bit of water or coconut oil to saute the artichokes, and the artichokes will take a little while to brown since they are wet to start out. Once the artichokes are slightly browned, add in the red onion and black beans with remaining herbs/seasonings. ... then done!

Black beans contain 15 grams of protein per 1 cup, making this a protein and flavor-packed vegan meal for the whole family! 

One-pan wonder :)
