Greek Style White Beans

I had a can of tomato sauce that I accidentally opened so I was inspired to use it. I found this 50 Things to Make with Pasta Sauce page, and saw "Greek Beans" at #40. Their recipe looked a bit basic, so I used it as inspiration for my own rendition.

1/3 sweet onion, diced

2 stalks of celery, diced

1 tablespoon of Olive Oil

1 tablespoon of Butter

3 cloves of Garlic, finely chopped

1 tablespoon Penzey's Italian Herb Mix (or similar)

1 15 oz Can of White Kidney Beans, drained and rinsed well

8 oz Can of Tomato Sauce

1 tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar

Bay Leaf

Cinnamon Stick

Feta Cheese

Directions

• Sauté onions and celery in olive oil and butter in pot over medium heat for 5 minutes
• Add garlic and Italian herb mix and continue to sauté for 3 additional minutes or until garlic browns (whichever comes first)
• Add beans, tomato sauce, vinegar, bay leaf, and cinnamon stick to pot
• Stick and cook for 15-20 minutes over low heat
• remove cinnamon stick and bay leaf before serving
• Sprinkle feta cheese on beans at serving time
