Marry Me Butter Beans

No ratings yet
Marry Me Butter Beans inspired by the various range of Marry Me dishes that we've seen on social media. The sauce is cream based and uses sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, herbs and parmesan. We're cooking this dish alongside a Rotisserie Leg of Lamb.
We don't eat that many beans and so we're often looking of ways to incorporate beans into our dishes. Butter beans have several nutritional benefits. They are high in fibre, great source of plant-based protein, contain potassium, which is good for heart health, rich in vitamin and minerals eg Vitamin B9, iron and magnesium, low in fat and digested slowly, leading to gradual rises in blood sugar.
This dish combines nutritional benefits and packs a punch on the taste scale. It can also be vegan too by using plant based substitutes eg coconut milk. This recipe would also work well with canneloni beans or chickpeas instead of butter beans.
