Oh yum, this was absolutely delish! Another great low calorie option from Pinch of Nom
I don’t know why I don’t have butter beans more often, a meaty & creamy texture and filling too. This is a great healthier option curry for the weekend or mid week.
Serves 4
Low cal cooking spray
1 onion, diced
1 red chilli, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp ginger
2 tsp tomato puree
juice of 1/2 lemon
3 medium sweet potatoes, diced
250ml vegetable stock
1 x 400g tin tomatoes
Salt & pepper
1 x 400g Butter Beans
100g Baby Spinach
For the Spice Mix:
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp gram masala
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Spray a large pan with oil, add the chopped onion and chilli and cook over a medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and spice mix and continue to cook for another minute.
- Add the tomato puree and lemon juice and mix
- Using a food processor or stick blender, blitz the onion mix to a smooth paste and return to the pan. Add the sweet potato and stir until coated.
- Add the stock and chopped tomatoes and season. Stir, bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer for about 20-25 minutes.
- Drain the butter beans and add to the pan along with the spinach, stir through and cook for about 3 minutes until beans are heated through and spinach has wilted.
- Serve and enjoy! I served with some rice and some chopped fresh coriander.
