Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp sundried tomato oil from the jar
  • 1 onion
  • 5 sundried tomatoes (roughly 45g)
  • 2 tsp garlic paste
  • 700g jar of butter beans
  • 100ml chicken or vegetable stock
  • ½ lemon
  • 8g basil leaves , plus extra to serve
  • 25g parmesan , grated, to serve

Method

  1. Pour the sundried tomato oil into a deep frying pan or casserole dish on a low heat. Finely chop the onion.

  2. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and fry over a medium heat for 7-8 mins, stirring often, until beginning to soften and turn golden at the edges. While the onion cooks, roughly chop the sundried tomatoes.

  3. Once the onion has softened, stir in the sundried tomatoes and garlic paste (you can also grate in fresh garlic, if you prefer). Cook for 1 min, then stir in the beans plus the liquid from the jar, then the stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 4-5 mins until thickened slightly.

  4. Squeeze in the lemon juice, then roughly chop or tear in the basil. Season lightly with salt (the liquid from the butter beans is often salty) and plenty of black pepper.

  5. Sprinkle over the parmesan and divide the beans between serving bowls. Garnish with a few more basil leaves, if you like, and a crack of black pepper.
