Creamy GARLIC Butter Beans | Packed with GOODNESS & Easy to Make

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Heat a large fry pan over medium heat and add 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil.

Finely chop 1 small onion and roughly chop 8 cloves of garlic.

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the hot fry pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Add 1 tbsp of all-purpose flour to the pan and mix for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flavor of the flour.

Stir in 1 tsp of sweet smoked Spanish paprika and 1 tsp of dried oregano, mixing until well combined.

Pour in 3/4 cup of lowfat milk and 3/4 cup of vegetable broth, mixing continuously for 4-5 minutes until a slightly creamy sauce forms.

Drain 2 cans of butter beans, rinse under water, and add them to the pan.

Squeeze in 2 tsp of fresh lemon juice and season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, mixing gently.

Lower the heat to low medium and simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

Remove the pan from heat and transfer the beans to a serving dish.

Top with grated cheese (Spanish manchego) and freshly chopped parsley before serving.
