  • 1 1/2 cup raw spinach rinsed
  • 6 cups butter beans
  • 1 yellow onion medium, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic chopped

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.86 cups water or broth of choice

Heat up olive oil in a saute pan, over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add water to pan and leave to simmer until about half of the liquid evaporated.

Add spinach, and butter beans, and tomatoes and cook on low-medium heat for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally and checking if more liquid is needed.
