Recipe - Bean And Cornmeal Pie (Ovo Lacto)

2 cn Black beans/kidney beans
2 cup Chopped onions
1 One half cup Chopped tomatoes
{canned tomatoes work, just
Drain them}
One fourth cup Salsa {I use hot}
1 lg Green pepper
1 cup Frozen corn kernels
1 teaspoon Cumin
2 teaspoon Chili
1 teaspoon Or more mixed herbs {i
Cheated & used Mrs. Dash}
One half teaspoon Salt

TOPPING
Three fourths cup Flour
Three fourths cup Cornmeal
Three fourths cup Skim milk
2 teaspoon Baking powder
1 ds Salt
2 teaspoon Sugar
1 ds Chili pepper
1 Egg white
One half cup Corn kernels

Saute onions & pepper in a little vegetable stock & water till tender
(about 8 mins). Add tomatoes, beans, salsa & 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 One half more teaspoon of
baking powder and used just the egg white}

Sift together dry ingredients. Beat egg white & milk. Stir into flour &
cornmeal mixture don't overmix. Fold in the corn kernels, and spread
batter over bean mixture and bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.

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