Recipe Ingredients

2   Black beans/kidney beans
2 cups 125g / 4.4ozChopped onions
1 1/2 cups 93g / 3.3ozChopped tomatoes (canned tomatoes work just
  Drain them)
1/4 cup 59mlSalsa {I use hot}
1 cup 237mlGreen pepper (large)
1 cup 62g / 2.2ozFrozen corn kernels
1 teaspoon 5mlCumin
2 teaspoons 10mlChili
1 teaspoon 5mlOr more mixed herbs (I cheated and used Mrs. Dash)
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlSalt
  Topping
3/4 cup 46g / 1.6ozFlour
3/4 cup 46g / 1.6ozCornmeal
3/4 cup 177mlSkim milk
2 teaspoons 10mlBaking powder
1   Salt
2 teaspoons 10mlSugar
1   Chili pepper
1   Egg white
1/2 cup 31g / 1.1ozCorn kernels

Recipe Instructions

Saute onions and pepper in a little vegetable stock and water till tender (about 8 minutes). Add tomatoes, beans, salsa and corn. Add the spices and simmer while you get the topping ready.

Original recipe called for 3 or 4 tablespoons of oil and 1 whole egg in the batter. I increased the milk slightly, added about 1/2 more teaspoon of baking powder and used just the egg white. Sift together dry ingredients. Beat egg white and milk.

Stir into flour and cornmeal mixture - don't over-mix. Fold in the corn kernels, and spread batter over bean mixture and bake at 375F for 25 minutes.

I serve this with plain yogurt {reduced fat, can't get fat-free around my neck of the woods} and extra salsa on the side.
