Low Fat Vegetarian Recipes

Ingredients:

1 vegetable cooking spray
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup diced carrot
1/2 cup diced green pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
14 1/2 oz can no-salt added tomatoes - undrai, ned and crushed
1 1/2 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp no-salt-added tomato paste
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tsp pepper
15 1/2 oz red kidney beans (canned) - drained, and rinsed
8 kaiser rolls (2-1/2 oz ea.)

Instructions:

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high
heat until hot. Add the onion, celery, carrot, green pepper, and garlic;
saute until tender. Stir in the tomatoes and next four ingredients.
Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer ten minutes. Add the kidney beans and
cook an additional five minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Cut a 1/4" slice off the top of each kaiser roll; set it aside. Hollow
out the center of each roll, leaving a 1/2"-thick shell; reserve the
insides of rolls for other uses. Spoon the bean mixture evenly into the
rolls; cover with the top slices. Serve immediately.
