Ingredients

3 tbsp olive oil
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 red chilli, sliced into half rings
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 cans Amaizin Butter Beans, 1 can drained
65 g cashew butter
100 ml (plant-based) cream, plus extra for drizzling
1 small broccoli (approx. 400 g), stalk cut into thin matchsticks and florets halved or quartered if large
100 g frozen peas
4 tbsp lemon juice

The recipe

Let's start cooking

  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Fry the garlic and red chilli for about 2 minutes, until golden. Remove half from the pan and set aside in a bowl.
  • Add the turmeric and black pepper to the pan and fry for 10 seconds. Add the butter beans, including the liquid from 2 of the cans, followed by 1 canful of water, the cashew butter and ⅓ tsp salt. Stir well, bring to the boil and leave to simmer gently until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan with a lid over medium-high heat. Arrange the broccoli florets cut-side down in the pan and place a plate on top to weigh them down. Cook for 3–5 minutes, until nicely golden.
  • Add 75 ml water, cover with the lid and steam the broccoli for 3–4 minutes, until just tender but still with a little bite. If needed, remove the lid and cook until any remaining water has evaporated.
  • Add the broccoli florets to the bowl with the reserved garlic and chilli. Toss with the broccoli stalk, 1 tbsp lemon juice and ¼ tsp salt.
  • Stir the peas, cream and remaining 3 tbsp lemon juice into the butter beans and heat for another 2 minutes.
  • Spoon the golden butter beans into bowls and top with the crispy broccoli, garlic and chilli. Finish with an extra drizzle of cream. Serve with bread or rice if you’re extra hungry.
