2 fat garlic cloves
40g sundried tomatoes, roughly chopped
2 tbsp creme fraiche, cream cheese or vegan alternative
1 jar of Queen Butter Beans or Organic White Beans - with their bean stock

Made with:
Butter Beans

These are the most ridiculously creamy, big, juicy butter beans you will find on this planet. We see them as the "creme de la creme" of the bean world. Try them tossed through a puttanesca sauce or with a fresh basil pesto - they're packed full of natural protein so great for flexitarians.

Directions

step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive in a pan over a medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and cook they start to soften, blister and slightly char, shaking the pan every so often, and squashing a few with the back of a spoon to release their juices - about 7-8 minutes.
step 2
Reduce the heat to low. Add the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
step 3
Add the cream cheese/creme fraiche and sundried tomatoes and stir to create a creamy sauce.
step 4
Pour in the butter beans with their liquid and stir until well combined. Stir through the spinach and cook until wilted.
step 5
Finish with a squeeze of lemon and season well with cracked black bean and salt to taste. Add a pinch of chilli flakes, if you like. Mop up with crusty bread.
