Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cans butter beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for cooking
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup organic sundried tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon organic tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Tuscan Marry Me blend
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup organic heavy cream for a richer flavor
- ½ cup organic vegetable stock can substitute with more cream
- 3 tablespoons white cooking wine optional
- ½ unit lemon, freshly squeezed
- 1 cup chopped organic kale
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese plus more for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it!
- Stir in the sundried tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for another minute.
- Add the Tuscan Marry Me blend and sea salt. Mix well.
- Pour in the heavy cream and vegetable stock, and stir to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- If using white cooking wine, add it now and let simmer for a few minutes to reduce slightly.
- Add the squeezed lemon juice, butter beans, and chopped kale. Stir gently to coat everything in the sauce.
- Cook for about 5 more minutes until the kale wilts and the butter beans heat through.
- Just before serving, sprinkle in the grated parmesan cheese and mix until melted.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of water or stock if too thick. Rinse butter beans well to reduce sodium.
