Beans in Tomato Sauce – ‘Continental’ Style

  • 15.5 oz. can of cherry tomatoes
  • 15.5 oz butter beans, rinsed (you can use cannellini’s or great northerns but I like the big flat white butter bean for this)
  • sage, 1 leaf chopped
  • fresh thyme, 1 tsp chopped
  • oregano, 1/2 tsp
  • parsley, 1/2 tsp tsp chopped
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • red wine vinegar, a splash
  • Kale, a few leaves, torn up (optional)
  • s+p
  • Shaved parmesan (for topping)

Add oil to pan and sauté the garlic and herbs for a few mins and then stir in the beans. Add the tomatoes, vinegar, and if desired, kale. Simmer for around 10 mins. Season with s+p. Sprinkle parmesan and add a sprig of parsley on top. Great on a crusty bit of toast.
