Ingredients

  • sundried tomatoes 40 g (chopped)
  • shallot 1 (chopped)
  • garlic cloves 4 (crushed)
  • smoked paprika 1 tsp
  • Bold Bean Queen butter beans 570 g
  • crème fraîche 200 g
  • spinach 250 g
  • Parmesan 50 g (grated)
  • fresh basil 15 g (chopped)
  • lemon ½ (juice)
  • ciabatta roll 2

Method

  • Chop the sundried tomatoes - you will need about 7 of them. Chop the shallot and crush the garlic cloves.
  • Heat two tablespoons of the sundried tomato oil from the jar 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 smoked paprika and cook for a minute or until the oil turns a deep red, before pouring in the Bold Bean Queen 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 fresh 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 the ciabatta rolls.
