Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Butter Beans

    If using dried butter beans, soak them overnight in water and drain. If using canned butter beans, rinse them under cold water.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Ingredients

    Add the butter beans, vegetable broth, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes until the beans are tender and flavors meld.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat, stir in the chopped parsley, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
