- Measure the olive oil with a spoon: a teaspoon is about 44 kcal, so cutting a couple of spoons from the pot saves real calories per serving.
- Let more tomato and a little water do the braising so the beans stay soft and saucy with less oil.
- Make it a full meal with a palm of grilled chicken or a bowl of yogurt instead of a large side of pilaf.
