The lima bean rebrand is going strong because these Creamy Harissa Butter Beans are 10/10!

Here’s everything you will need to make these delicious creamy harissa butter beans:

Canned/Boxed Butterbeans - Most major grocery stores sell canned butter beans. I recommend getting low/no-sodium butter beans that way you can control the sodium in this dish
Harissa sauce - If you’re unfamiliar with harissa, it is made up of peppers and spices. It typically has a smoky taste and comes in varying heat levels. I always grab the mild harissa but it can get really spicy
Shallot or red onion
Minced garlic
Sundried tomatoes in oil
Kale or spinach
Canned oconut milk or soy milk for added protein
Vegetable broth
Nutritional yeast - this gives the dish a nutty/cheese-like flavor without being too overpowering
Garlic powder
Red pepper flakes
Salt and black pepper
Olive oil for cooking

Ingredients:

1 can/box of butter beans, drained

1 tbsp olive oil

1 shallot, minced

1 tsp minced garlic

2 tbsp sundried tomatoes, chopped

2 tbsp harissa

1 cup coconut milk/soy milk

1/3 cup vegetable broth

2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1/4 cup nutritional yeast

Handful of shredded kale

Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced shallots and cook for just 1-2 minutes. Next, add minced garlic and chopped sundried tomatoes. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes.

Add the drained butter beans and harissa paste, followed by your choice of milk and veggie broth.

Stir in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and nutritional yeast. Bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes so that it begins to thicken.

Add the shredded kale and let simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Once the kale is wilted and the stew has thickened to your liking, remove it from the heat and enjoy with toasted sourdough bread
