Butter Beans in Super Green Sauce

So simple yet so good, adored this dish, it will be a staple in my rotation!! Thank you so much for such delicious recipes!

Easy to make and tasted nice, nothing amazing but would make again if I had the ingredients anyway

Amazing 🤩 will be making again !! 🌿

The best!!!!

Super delicious and very easy to make

I made exactly to the recipe and it was delicious! Simple to make too - used my nutribullet to blend the sauce.

I made this with pasta as another commenter suggested and it was incredible! I boiled 225g dry pasta for 4 servings but will add about 20g more next time I make it

I made this dish with mint instead of basil as I couldn't find any at the shops I went to for whatever reason. I added a dash of cumin since I felt like it would fit quite well. And I also used chickpeas and black beans instead of butter beans because they had to be used first.
We really enjoyed the dish very much. The whole thing (4 portions) was eaten in one sitting by two adults and one toddler, so it really was a hit. I can imagine that it tastes just as well with basil, which I'll hopefully try in the future.

Hiya Sandrine! Mint and cumin must have added a lovely twist. So happy to hear it was a hit with the whole family - and hopefully basil will be a treat next time 💚

Mmmmm this was so flavourful, hearty and simple to make! Perfect for a cosy winter dinner. (And felt great getting my greens in so deliciously 😋)

Effort to taste ratio very high, will be keeping this in my arsenal for days when I don't feel like cooking but still want something nourishing and tasty. So glad to have discovered this recipe. I even forgot the bouillon and it still was lovely.

I read the comments and thought "it can't be that good..surely?". I made it tonight and wow! The combination of greens with the brightness from the lemon juice and zest, garlic flavour was amazing. I used Cannellini Beans as I ran out of Butter beans. So good! Wish I had made a bigger portion. Love it. Instant classic! 😋

We're so glad to hear you gave it a try and loved it, Trish! Cannellini beans sound like a great substitute, and it's wonderful to hear the flavours came together so well 🙌

Just made this and I love it!!! The sauce is to die for and the lemon juice gives it such rich taste- just WOW! Gonna try it with pasta as well

Woohoo! Thank you, Romana 🙌

This is lovely. Very tasty. I will certainly make it more often

This one is soooo good I am not a bean fan but it got me 🫶🏻

So simple and delicious, made it with frozen spinach and it was just as yum😍

It is super rich so I added orzo to it. Lemon is essential at the end. Very filling recipe

So good! Made this with the naan and my only problem is that I was full, but still wanted to keep on eating 😉

Love this recipe! 😍 I had it with naan and used cashews instead of nutritional yeast.

So incredibly delicious! I’d 100% remake this! I’m in love with the sauce!

Delicious! The lemon juice adds a nice touch to it. Pepper flakes gives it a hint of spice. It was so easy to me. I’ll definitely make again. I just used an immersion blender so I didn’t have to transfer everything to a regular blender.

This recipe was so delicious! I didn't have enough butter beans, so I used cannellini beans as well. Served over rice and my spouse and I both couldn't resist getting seconds!

Mmm a delicious idea, A M, thank you!

Can’t believe how many amazing bean recipes are on this app. Love this one!

Such a fantastic recipe, this app never misses! Really fresh and light

So delicious! The chili flakes on top were the perfect touch!

This is amazing! It's so quick and easy and just delicious! I love how green the sauce is too, it just looks like health in a bowl 💚 I used the scale down feature to make two portions so I could have some for dinner tomorrow, but unfortunately I just had to eat it all 😂

Yess this one is hard to resist! So glad that you enjoyed the recipe, Rob 🫶

Loved this dish, especially the tanginess and creaminess! And the fact that it comes together so quickly is a bonus! 😁

Delicious, only struggle was that butter beans are only available dried so that added to the preparation time.

Hi Team! I would love to make this recipe! But I am not sure what else would pair with it other than bread or naan. Do you have any recommendations?

PUL Team - June 25, 2024, 11:01 p.m.

Hiya Violet, we've heard positive reviews for pairing this pasta. Other ideas include a side salad, roasted vegetables, or other grains like couscous 😊

Delicious! Seriously. Will be making this again. Added more chili oil crisp and less olive oil, it was perf!

This was incredible! So refreshing and rich in flavour without feeling heavy! I had leftovers the next day and used it as a sauce in pasta and that worked wonderfully too.

Delicious! Fresh and comforting.

A stunning recipe to incorporate loads of vitamin k and good probative into one's diet. My husband and I had it with garlic bread and it was phenomenal.

So thrilled you're enjoying the recipe, Nikisha!

Amazing and easy dish, loved the flavours!! Will definitely be making this again, thank you!! ✨

that was so delicious!! I made it with cilantro instead because my basil got mouldy in the fridge😭 incredible recipe nonetheless🤩

My God! It was so tasty 🤤 I still can't believe something so healthy can taste this good.

After reading the comments section of this recipe, I decided to turn this into a pasta dish. Its now our go to pasta recipes. Love it so much that I can’t stop eating it. Thanks a bunch for this recipe, PUL and for the pasta idea folks! Appreciate it very much.

PUL Team - April 16, 2024, 10:55 p.m.

Love that you're enjoying the dish, Aruna! We're excited to try this one with pasta as well 🙌✨

The sauce is so bright and flavorful!! It’s warm and cozy but also vibrant. This is definitely a new favorite :)

Absolutely delicious 😍 used chickpeas instead of butterbeans

This is such an amazing and forgiving recipe, my family loves it! I've made a few variations already, adding arugula, parsley, zucchini, frozen and defrosted spinach. Swapping the beans for gnocchi. It's a wonderful flavor combination, quick to make and very delicious!

Oh, also, since I'm too lazy to transfer it to the blender and I have a great handheld blender, I use that. Little less smooth, but less cleanup also!

PUL Team - April 10, 2024, 6:33 p.m.

So glad that your family is enjoying the recipe, Lies! Thanks for the variation ideas too 🤩

Lovely sauce, which combines great with the butter beans

Something I would never do by myself but I loved it 😍

Beautiful and yummy!

Love this! Its Quick, easy and delicious 😊

Super fresh and delicious! Goes well with some rice if you don‘t have bread on hand.

Sikple, healthy & delicious. My store only had coconut yoghurt and it was delicious

Amazing how much leafy greens you can stuff into one portion of this dish! I didn't have enough butter beans, so I added chickpeas and some tofu.

Lecker !

Very tasty recipe for cold days! Thank you!

Doesn’t blend properly with a food processor and I don’t have a blender.

Amazing recipe, super tasty and very creative. Thank your great work ♥️

Very fresh, quick and tasty dinner! I didn’t have any yogurt, so I added 1/4 c of Silk whipping cream instead. I also added some pine nuts on top along with the zest, olive oil and red pepper flakes.

I followed someone else's advice and added some pasta to this and, wow this was so easy, fast, and delicious. And I'm a huge fan of the beautiful green color

Woop woop! So glad it was enjoyed, Jude, thank you ☺️

This was delicious and simple to make. Will be making again for sure!

So fragrant and quick to make ! I replaced the beans with chickpeas, a big shot of iron ;)... I had it with red rice, fabulous !!!! What a green incredible color as well 😍

PUL Team - March 2, 2024, 3:12 a.m.

So glad that the recipe was enjoyed, Pauline!

Wow wow wow this is such an exceptionally delicious dish, I can't believe it! The fresh taste of the lemon with the basil, I'm amazed. I'll be making it again and I'll try to use the sauce for pasta as well, I'm sure that would work great as well.

PUL Team - Feb. 28, 2024, 12:26 a.m.

Woohoo! We're so thrilled that the butter beans were enjoyed, Jonathan, and love the idea to use the sauce in pasta 🤗

Jonathan - March 11, 2024, 2:22 p.m.

I've made it twice with pasta and it works super well as well.
