Tips

1. Use fresh herbs as possible. This is an easy way to boost the dish's flavor without adding more calories.
2. Add a dash of your favorite spices: cumin, ginger, cayenne pepper, turmeric …
3. Cook the dry beans from scratch or buy organic canned beans when possible.
4. If canned beans have salt, use less salt.
5. Drain the excess water in canned beans. But no need to rinse it.
6. Ensure not to overcook the dish since it can dry out fast.
7. Since we are broiling the dish, use a high smoke point oil such as avocado oil.

Substitutes

• Replace eggs with proteins such as cooked chicken, ground beef, or sausage. Or leave eggs out and make a vegan dish.
• Substitute northern beans with black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, navy beans, white beans, or other beans. Lentils and chickpeas are great too. You can even use fresh or frozen green beans or peas.
• Use ghee, olive oil, or avocado oil instead of butter.
• Substitute onion and garlic with leeks, chives, garlic, or shallot.
• Replace dill with cilantro, chives, oregano, mint, parsley, basil, thyme, or rosemary. Fresh herbs are the best if you have them on hand!
• Add a dash of your favorite spices.
• Serve it with yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese, fruit salad, and chopped nuts for crunch or bread.

Why soak beans

Beans have lots of phytic acid-an antinutrients substance. Soaking beans in cold water lowers the phytic acid in them. Also, adding a tablespoon of lemon juice or other types of acidic food such as plain yogurt and kefir help to naturalize phytic acid further.

How to cook dry beans

1. First, In a larger pot, rinse one cup of beans with cold water.
2. Then, add 5 cups of cold water and one tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice (something acidic) and let it soak over night.
3. The next day, drain the water and add fresh cold water to cover the beans.
4. Season it with salt to taste and bring it to boil on the stovetop. Adding the salt before cooking beans will prevent the beans' skin from coming off while cooking.
5. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 45 minutes or until beans are soft inside and have a firm shape.
6. Cooked beans freeze well too. Put them inside an air-tight zip lock bag, let the air out, and flatten and use it within three months.

The exact instructions can be used to cook dry chickpeas. But, lentils need only 30 minutes of soaking before cooking, and they cook much faster.

Ingredients

You will need:

• 4 eggs
• One can Of northern beans
• ½ cup of chopped dill
• 3 tbs of butter
• ½ cup of diced onion diced
• 2 cloves of garlic
• Salt & pepper as needed
• Some drizzle of olive oil or avocado oil
• Served with avocado

Instructions

1. In a hot skillet, sauté onion with butter until soft and slightly brown.
2. Then, drain the bean's liquid, and add it to the onion. Let the beans warm up.
3. Next, add chopped dill and mix them all.
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If canned beans has salt, add less salt.
5. Turn on the oven broil and let the oven warm up.
6. Breaks the eggs next and season them with salt and pepper.
7. Drizzle some avocado or olive oil over the eggs.
8. Place the skillet in the hot oven and let the eggs cook for 5 minutes for a runny result.
9. Serve it hot with some sliced avocado or bread.
10. ENJOY!

Notes

• The total cook time is 10 minutes. Five minutes on the stovetop and 5 minutes to grill in the oven. Broiling the eggs in the oven results in a nicer crust and is crispier.
• However, you can complete cooking the dish on the stovetop. Lower the heat and cover the pan and let it steam cook for 5 minutes.
• I use an 10-inch cast-iron skillet to cook the dish.
