Creamy Beans, Fennel + Greens

Majorly comforting and warming, but somehow fresh and zippy thanks to the fennel seeds and lemon.

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to serve

1 large head of fennel (or 2 small), finely sliced (use a mandolin if you have one!)

1 heaped tbsp fennel seeds

1.5 tsp thyme leaves

2 large cloves garlic, crushed

100g of leafy greens (Beth uses a mix of spinach and black kale), cabbage or cavalo nero would also work

Juice and zest of 1 large lemon

1 jar of Queen Butter Beans, with their bean stock

Directions

1

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and sweat the fennel until softened, roughly 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2

Stir in the fennel seeds, thyme and garlic and cook out for 2-3 mins.

3

Tip in the beans with all of their liquid, plus half a jar of water. Allow to bubble away, stirring until the broth becomes thick.

4

Reduce the heat slightly and stir in the lemon juice and greens. Cook until the greens have wilted down and the liquid is thick and starchy. Season to taste.

5

Serve in bowls with an extra drizzle of olive oil and the lemon zest.
