Ingredients

ginger & garlic paste 1 tbsp
curry powder 1 tsp
ground turmeric 1 tsp
vegetable stock cube 1
butter beans 800 g (drained)
coconut milk 400 ml
spinach 100 g
lime 1 (zest & juice)
pumpkin seeds 3 tbsp (toasted)
flatbreads 4

Method

Cook the beans

In a pan, heat a dash of your preferred cooking oil or spray over a medium heat, add the ginger & garlic paste, curry powder and ground turmeric and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Make up the vegetable stock cube with 100ml boiling water per serving (400ml for serves 4, 200ml for serves 2). If you prefer a more intense broth you can halve the amount of water.
Tip in the butter beans, vegetable stock and coconut milk, stir well so that everything is coated, then bring to a gentle simmer.
Let it bubble for 5 - 7 minutes, then stir in the spinach and cook for a further 2–3 minutes until just wilted and vibrant.

Make the pumpkin seed & lime crunch

Zest the lime, then cut it into wedges (keep the wedges for your finished dish).
Roughly chop the pumpkin seeds then toast them in a dry pan on a low heat for a few minutes until they start to pop. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the lime zest, add a drizzle of oil and season with salt and pepper.

Warm the flatbreads & Plate Up

Warm the flatbreads according to the packet instructions.
Season the broth well with black pepper, then spoon into bowls.
Serve with the lime wedges and sprinkle over the pumpkin seed crunch. You could also add a drizzle of chilli oil. Tuck in and get cosy!
