Here’s my November column for Curves Fitness magazine. It’s a big, warm meal in a bowl, full of cannellini beans, escarole, shrimp, capers, garlic, oregano, all great Italian flavors. And it’s only 400 calories a serving. Can’t beat that. I hope you enjoy it.

Favorite Things
The recipe is great but when I make it this weekend, I will 86 the shrimp.I love shrimp & I love beans but somehow, in my mind, they don’t belong in the same zip code. I may add sliced polish sausage to replace the shrimp. (Or not)…like Sal, I think “all you need is beans”.
Zingara, Curves has strict dietary rules for all their recipes. The protein count must be high, but the fat count low, so there you have your shrimp. I love the combo. It’s good with calamari too. Sausage will, of course, be great but it does’nt work with the Curves game plan.
Reblogged this on City Girl Country.
Thank you City Girl Country.
where is the recipe…cant find it
@Marie Russo….below the pic is a paragraph. Hit the first word (which is here’s) it will take you to the recipe. I’m soaking the beans now to cook tomorrow. Good luck! Z
Love your Brussels sprouts. Might be my favorite vegetable. You may recall that I have a beef with fennel. How about a little Annissetta instead? Maybe a splash to finish it? ( Down with Fennel!! )
MIchael, Anisette is basically fennel, well anise, but a very similar flavor. I’m surprised you like that. I was going to suggest replacing the fennel pollen in the Brussels sprout recipe with caraway seeds. That’s a lovely flavor combo too. Not particularly Italian, but good. In that case maybe you’d want to ditch the rosemary and replace it with a few sprigs of dill.
