Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups canned butter beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (or use olive oil for a healthier option)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté it until it's fragrant, approximately 30 seconds to a minute.
  2. Stir in the dried oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Let those flavors bloom for another minute.
  3. Gently fold in the drained butter beans, coating them evenly with the buttery herb mixture.
  4. Add the vegetable broth to the skillet. Stir to mix everything well and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let this cook for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the beans to absorb the flavors.
  5. Finally, season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  6. Spoon the buttery beans into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

If desired, you can incorporate spinach or kale for added nutrients. To store leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
