Before you start

Frying pan with high sides  | High speed blender

Prepare the vegetables

  • Peel and dice the onion
  • Peel and mince the garlic

Prepare the base

  • In a large frying pan over medium heat, heat 2 tbsp sundried tomato oil. Once warm, add the onions a big pinch of salt and cook for 8-10 minutes until soft

Whilst the vegetables are cooking

  • Combine the sundried tomatoes, cream and plant-based milk in a high speed blender and blitz until smooth and creamy

Return to the base

  • Add the minced garlic and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute before adding the dried thyme and chilli flakes. Saute until this mix is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Pour in the sun dried tomato cream and butter beans (and their liquid if using organic). Bring to the boil then simmer for 10 minutes

Finish and serve

  • Stir the spinach into the pan and allow to wilt in the heat of the stew
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper
  • Serve immediately with a big green salad
  • Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days
