Lebanese White Bean and Swiss Chard Stew

Bean-and-greens stews like this one are weeknight staples across Lebanon, built on whatever hearty greens are in season simmered with white beans, tomato, and warm spices like coriander, cumin, and a hint of cinnamon until the whole pot turns thick and comforting.

Because the stew leans on beans and greens rather than meat for its substance, it's naturally vegan and delivers a large amount of fiber and plant protein per bowl, which fits well within a heart-healthy or DASH-style eating pattern, especially when made with low-sodium broth and no-salt-added tomatoes as written here. Ladle it over rice or eat it on its own with crusty bread for a filling, meatless dinner.
