Fresh, bright and savory, Lemon and Herb Butter Beans are simple, healthy and versatile. A great toast or salad topping, or an easy side.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. Olive Oil, plus more for drizzling over finished dish
  • 1/2 White or Yellow Onion, sliced thin
  • 2-4 Cloves Garlic, pressed or minced
  • 2 cans Butter Beans, drained and rinsed
  • Zest of 1 Lemon
  • Juice of 1 Lemon
  • 1 tbsp. Chopped Parsley
  • 1 tbsp. Chopped Dill, plus more for garnish
  • Kosher Salt and Black Pepper to Taste
  • Flaky Finishing Salt, for garnish

Instructions

1

In a large skillet, over medium-low heat, sauté onion slices in olive oil until they are softened and begin to turn lightly golden. Add the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds.

2

Add the butter beans to the onions. Zest the lemon directly into the skillet and then squeeze the juice of that lemon over the butter beans. Gently stir the butter beans in the onions and lemon. We only need to warm the butter beans through.

3

Stir in one tablespoon of chopped parsley. Cut the heat and stir in one tablespoon of chopped fresh dill.

4

Season with kosher and black pepper to taste.

5

Serve warm as side, or at room temperature as part of a salad.

6

Serve on toasted bread with olive oil and a poached egg.
