Cherry Tomato and Basil Butter Beans
10 mins prepServes 2
A flavorful one-pot dish with butter beans, cherry tomatoes, and basil. The tomatoes are blistered and blended with soft tofu and nutritional yeast to create a creamy sauce. Serve it hot with toasted bread for a delightful vegetarian meal.
1: Peel and mince garlic cloves.
2: In a non-stick frying pan on medium-low heat, add olive oil and minced garlic, stirring often.
3: After a few minutes, add cherry tomatoes, stirring often until they blister.
4: Drain and rinse the butter beans, setting aside 2/3 cup for the sauce.
5: Once the cherry tomatoes have blistered, press them gently with the back of a wooden spoon until they pop.
6: In a blender, add about 1/3 of the cherry tomatoes, 2/3 cup of butter beans, nutritional yeast, soft tofu, salt, lemon juice, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy.
7: Add remaining butter beans to the pan with cherry tomatoes, then add the sauce from the blender and bring to a simmer.
8: Roughly chop basil leaves and add them to the pan, saving about 1/4 for topping.
9: Remove from heat, dish up, top with remaining chopped basil, and enjoy.
