‘MARRY ME’ BUTTERBEANS🌱

‘MARRY ME’ BUTTERBEANS🌱 . I’m sure by now you’ve all seen the viral ‘marry me chicken’ which I’ve seen people make lots of variations of, in particular with pasta! I decided to do a whole-foods twist on it, and use butterbeans instead of vg chicken or pasta - this worked so well and it was so simple to make! Could easily double the recipe for a fab easy batch cook as well😍 . Ingredients for 2: - 1 can of good quality butterbeans, I used , if you want to make a bigger batch I highly highly recommend the jars!! These jars are usually my go to but I ran out and my nearest shop is tesco so couldn’t get them, but the beans were so so delicious so wasn’t missing out! If you can, it makes a big difference buying quality beans. - 70g sun-dried tomatoes - 3 cloves of garlic - 1/2 a red onion or 1 shallot - Big handful of spinach - Small bunch of basil - 30g cashews - 3-4 tbsp nutritional yeast - Pinch of dried oregano - Pinch of dried thyme - 150ml unsweetened plant milk (add a bit more if needed, if your blender isn’t super powerful/needs more liquid to blend) . Finely chop the onion, garlic & sundried tomatoes. Heat some oil in a pan and fry the onion & garlic over a medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add the sundried tomatoes, followed by the dried oregano & thyme. Let that cook off for a few minutes and meanwhile, blitz together the cashews, plant milk & nutritional yeast til super smooth and creamy. Add the beans WITH the liquid from the can and mix well, then after a minute or two add the cashew cream. Mix well and bring it to a gentle simmer for 3-4 minutes. Add the spinach & basil and mix well until wilted, add a splash of water if it’s getting too thick. Season to taste with salt & pepper. Serve up with some toast (sourdough is the best but I had none in) and enjoy! .
