Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (15 oz each) canned butter beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Rinse and drain the canned butter beans thoroughly in a colander under cold running water. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the crushed tomatoes to the skillet, along with the bay leaf, dried oregano, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the tomato sauce to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove and discard the bay leaf from the sauce.
Gently fold in the butter beans to the sauce and let them simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing them to absorb the flavors and heat through completely.
Remove from heat and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top before serving.
Serve hot as a main course or a side dish with your favorite bread or over rice.
