  This recipe is great on a hot day. No cooking; quick and easy and keeps in the fridge. Put the following ingredients in a blender or food processor:

• 1 can black beans
• 1/2 cup onion
• 1/2 cup sweet peppers
• 2 or 3 cloves fresh garlic
• 1/2 can cooked spinach
• 3 or 4 mushroom caps
• 2 sprigs fresh basil leaves chopped
• 2 sprigs fresh oregano leaves

Drain spinach and beans before adding to blender (use a little veggie stock if mixture seems too thick after mixing) and blend all ingredients on puree until smooth.

Cool in covered container until ready to serve.

To serve: pour into bowls. Garnish with small sprig of basil and nasturtium flower. (add a dollop of sour cream if you like!)  Add some French bread and fresh green salad and enjoy!
