Spanish Breakfast Beans

Serves: 4

This rich and hearty Spanish-inspired breakfast dish is both extremely flavorful and nourishing. The dish offers warmth and depth and will quickly become a popular breakfast choice. If you are pressed for time in the mornings, it can be made a day or two ahead as it reheats well. In fact, we think it tastes even better when made like this, since it allows extra time for the rich flavors to develop. Serve on top of a slice of toast or alongside a crusty baguette. A sprinkle of shaved Parmesan and fresh parsley on top would go nicely too.

1 small potato, diced
½ medium bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
