I love butter beans! I tried a new recipe- lentil and butter bean stew - delicious!
I used organic dry lentils and Camellia brand dry butter beans plus 1 tomato or 10 large cherry tomatoes, 2 cups veggie broth plus more boiling water to cook the beans, 1/2 large onion chopped, 2 carrots, chopped, 1 small zucchini chopped, 14 ounce can salt free diced tomatoes, 2 T tomato paste, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, turmeric, cumin, fresh herbs from the garden- I have rosemary & thyme. You could use canned beans. I cooked the butter beans the night before in the instant pot with the pressure cooker setting. When I make this again I will also cook the lentils ahead of time to speed up the cooking time.
I also added a dried Thai chili pepper cuz I like the heat! Garnished with diced avocado.
Yummy.
