  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons vegan butter
  • 1 large shallot (peeled & finely diced)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes (marinated in oil & chopped)
  • 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 15 ounces canned butter beans (include liquid, do not strain)
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut cream
  • 1 Tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep Ingredients: Finely dice the shallots, chop the sun-dried tomatoes, and mince the garlic. Using a garlic press is recommended for ease.
  2. Melt Butter: In a large pot, melt the vegan butter over medium heat until sizzling.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced shallots and minced garlic to the melted butter. Stir and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  4. Add Tomatoes & Herbs: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried thyme, and chili flakes. Cook and combine everything with the shallots and garlic for about 1 more minute.
  5. Add Beans and Cream: Pour in the entire can of butter beans including the liquid to maintain creaminess. Add the coconut cream, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice, then stir well to combine.
  6. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for approximately 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken by reducing some of the liquid and cooking the beans thoroughly.
  7. Finish with Basil and Seasoning: Stir in the chopped fresh basil and season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  8. Serve: Serve the warm buttery beans alongside or atop toasted bread for a hearty, comforting meal. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Do not strain the canned butter beans; the liquid helps create a creamy texture.
  • Use vegan butter and coconut cream to keep this dish plant-based and rich.
  • Adjust chili flakes to control the heat level according to your preference.
  • This recipe serves 2 but can easily be doubled for more servings.
  • Perfect paired with crusty toasted bread for soaking up the creamy sauce.
