Miso Butter Beans

Serves: 2

Ingredients

• Knob of butter
• 3 spring onions or 1 baby leek, sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 400g jar or tin of butter beans
• 150ml vegetable or chicken stock
• 1 tbsp white miso paste, dissolved in 2 tbsp hot water
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• Big handful of spinach, roughly chopped

Instructions

1. Add a knob of butter and drizzle of olive oil to a saucepan. Then add the spring onions/leek and garlic. Fry until softened and slightly golden.
2. Add the beans to the saucepan (with the liquid they are in). Fry for a minute.
3. Add the stock and bring everything to a simmer. Add the miso liquid.
4. Simmer the beans for a few minutes until the sauce thickens and reduces slightly.
5. Add the lemon juice and lots of black pepper.
6. I like to stir through a big handful of spinach for the last minute until just wilted for a boost of greens.
7. Serve the beans with a slice of sourdough toast to soak up the miso liquid and beans - enjoy!
