Creamy Spinach + Sundried Tomato Butter Beans
EASY BEANS. Tender butter beans bathe in a creamy, garlicky Tuscan-style sauce, with spinach + tangy sundried tomatoes (basically everything you've probably already got lurking in your fridge). It's ideal as a quick, one-pan veggie weeknight meal with a hunk of warm, crusty ciabatta.
If you're a meat eater, try subbing out the sundried toms for spicy slices of chorizo - or do both! It's very versatile for whatever you've got lying around.
Ingredients
1 jar of Queen Butter Beans - with their bean stock
1 large or 2 medium shallots, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
7 sundried tomatoes (plus 2 tbsp of the oil from the jar), roughly chopped
1 tsp smoked paprika
120g spinach
200g creme fraiche
50g parmesan, grated, plus extra for garnish
A small bunch of fresh parsley or basil (roughly 15g), roughly chopped
1 lemon
Serving suggestionsA fresh rocket salad, dressed in olive oil and lemon juice
Tenderstem broccoli
Ciabatta bread
SubstitutionsSundried tomatoes - 150g chorizo, diced
Optional extras - 100g frozen peas
Directions
Heat two tablespoons of the sundried tomato oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 5-6 minutes until shimmering and softened. Then add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the sundried tomatoes and paprika and cook for a minute or until the oil turns a deep red, before pouring in the butter beans with their bean stock. Stir and simmer for a couple of minutes to warm the beans through.
Reduce the heat to low and stir through the creme fraiche. Then add the spinach, cover with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach has wilted. (now is a good time to add in any other greens you’ve got in your fridge!)
Stir through the parmesan and parsley or basil - you’re looking for a consistency similar to a glossy pasta sauce. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and season with a few cracks of black pepper and salt to taste.
Serve into bowls, top with more parmesan, black pepper and serve with crusty ciabatta or a fresh rocket salad.
