Servings: persons

1 cup dried red kidney beans or (14 ounce) can red kidney beans
1 pinch sea salt
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons thyme
1 tablespoon tomato juice (from can)
1/4 cup whole grain flour, approximately
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 pinch sea salt
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons unrefined sugar
1/2 lb whole grain spaghetti noodles

1
To use dried beans in this recipe, they must be fully cooked before you begin. You should soak kidney beans in lots of water overnight, then drain. Cover them by 2 inches with fresh water, do NOT add any salt, and gently boil them for 1 hour. Adding a bit of kombu (seaweed) to the water while they cook will improve their digestibility.
2
To use canned beans, look for one that doesn't have any salt listed in the ingredients. Before using, rinse and drain the beans.
3
Mash the cooked kidney beans and season. Add flour as needed to bind them together. Form this into small balls, and bake at 350 degrees F for 20-30 minutes.
4
Saute the garlic in olive oil, then add the tomatoes and seasonings. Leave this to simmer.
5
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil and add the noodles. They will take about 10 minutes to cook.
6
Drain the noodles, and stir in a small amount of tomato sauce with them. Serve with more sauce and topped with 3-4 'meatballs'.
