Creamy Harissa Butter Beans

 

The lima bean rebrand is going strong because these Creamy Harissa Butter Beans are 10/10!

Here’s everything you will need to make these delicious creamy harissa butter beans:

  • Canned/Boxed Butterbeans - Most major grocery stores sell canned butter beans. I recommend getting low/no-sodium butter beans that way you can control the sodium in this dish

  • Harissa sauce - If you’re unfamiliar with harissa, it is made up of peppers and spices. It typically has a smoky taste and comes in varying heat levels. I always grab the mild harissa but it can get really spicy

  • Shallot or red onion

  • Minced garlic

  • Sundried tomatoes in oil

  • Kale or spinach

  • Canned oconut milk or soy milk for added protein

  • Vegetable broth

  • Nutritional yeast - this gives the dish a nutty/cheese-like flavor without being too overpowering

  • Garlic powder

  • Red pepper flakes

  • Salt and black pepper

  • Olive oil for cooking
