Ingredients
Scale
Beans and Vegetables
- 2 (15 oz.) cans butter beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup organic sundried tomatoes
- 1 cup chopped kale, organic
- 1/2 lemon, freshly squeezed
Sauce and Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon organic tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Tuscan Marry Me blend
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup organic heavy cream
- 1/2 cup organic vegetable stock
- 3 tablespoons white cooking wine (optional, can be omitted or substituted with additional vegetable stock)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the base sauce: In a medium skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add seasonings and tomatoes: Stir in the Tuscan Marry Me blend seasoning and sea salt until well combined. Then add the sundried tomatoes and tomato paste, mixing thoroughly to combine all flavors.
- Incorporate liquids and simmer: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, vegetable stock, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and white cooking wine (if using). Stir constantly and let the mixture bubble gently for 1-2 minutes.
- Add parmesan and thicken sauce: Whisk in the grated parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce thickens, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add kale and butter beans: Stir in the chopped kale until evenly distributed. Then add the drained butter beans, stirring to coat them well with the sauce.
- Simmer gently: Let everything simmer together for 5-6 minutes, allowing the beans to get tender and slightly mashable, and kale to soften slightly.
- Finish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the creamy Tuscan butter beans with your choice of sides such as rice, mashed potatoes, vegetables, or garlic bread. Garnish with extra grated parmesan if desired.
- Enjoy: Bon Appetit!
Notes
- White cooking wine can be omitted or replaced with additional vegetable stock for a non-alcoholic version.
- Use organic ingredients where possible for enhanced flavors and quality.
- This dish pairs beautifully with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
- Adjust the seasoning blend quantity to taste for desired flavor intensity.
- For a thicker sauce, simmer a few minutes longer, or add more parmesan cheese.
