Yikes, I almost forgot… this is the Cumin Scented White Bean recipe that I promised! I served them with my Simply Seared Tuna w/ Triple Herb Sauce. They literally take all of ten minutes to throw together!
Whenever I use beans from a can (which is most of the time), I always rinse them under cold water water after I drain them. This actually washes off about 60% of the extra sodium that canned goods tend to have. Then if you feel you’re beans need a little extra salt, you can add it in yourself!

Hi Dani, the photo isn’t showing up right now, all I can see is some code! This recipe sounds great since I love cumin and beans! And I especially love simple, quick recipes like this! I always rinse my canned beans too but didn’t know the sodium statistic, good to know!
Nicole – Thanks for letting me know… I fixed it;)!!
The beans look great, you didn’t need the disclaimer!
Nicole – You’re too kind;)
