As I mentioned yesterday, I have a lot of recipes in my arsenal that can get people through their Veganuary challenge. And this is definitely one of the good ones. The wine adds a rich depth of flavour, and those who are used to eating meat won’t notice its absence in this really hearty, winter-warming dish.
I promise.
Sam loves it when I cook with wine because I never use all of it when cooking so we have a tasty bottle sitting around, already opened and breathing.
Beans in Red Wine

2 red onions, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, diced
3 carrots, chopped

400 g of red kidney beans
400 g of cannellini beans
300 mL of red wine

In a large casserole pot, dry fry your onions and garlic. When they are soft, add in your carrots and lentils and saute for a few minutes.

Simmer for 20 minutes.
Notes:
I served mine with wild rice.
