Creamy Garlicky Butterbeans

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Course Dinner, Main Course
Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 700 g butterbeans (pre-drained weight) undrained/in their juices (I recommend using the jarred kind)
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 450 g cherry tomatoes
  • 4 tbsp vegan cream cheese
  • Large handful spinach
  • Handful fresh basil chopped
  • Juice of 1 small lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large pan over a medium heat and add the oil
  • Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in the tomatoes and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes so that the tomatoes soften (you can squash them down gently with the back of a fork to help this).
  • Pour in butterbeans (with their juices) and bring to a boil before reducing to a simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the vegan cream cheese so a creamy sauce forms.
  • Add in the salt, pepper, lemon juice, basil and spinach. Once the spinach has wilted, it's ready to serve! If meal prepping, this will keep in a container in the fridge for upto 3 days.
