Butter Beans with Garlic, Lemon and Herbs

Frida Fisher

Report

These butter beans are a refreshing Mediterranean-style twist on the classic, with spicy, garlicky, lemony and herbaceous flavor. Serve with bread, plain pasta, or rice to capture all the sauce.

Instructions

Toast the seasonings. Set a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Once it begins to shimmer, add the red pepper flakes, urfa pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, minced garlic, and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Stir just until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute (do not let the garlic brown or the oil will taste bitter).
Simmer the beans. Add the drained butter beans and the broth. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and simmer until the beans are warm and the broth is just slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
Finish and serve. Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice, green onions, and fresh herbs. Serve warm, with your favorite crusty bread, rice, or tossed with cooked plain pasta.
