Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika (pimenton dulce - or hot paprika if you like it spicy)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 cans butter beans (400ml/14oz (lima beans), drained and rinsed)
  • 2 cans plum tomatoes (400ml/14oz )
  • Sea salt and black pepper
  • 2 large handfuls spinach (roughly chopped)

Instruction

  • In a large saucepan, heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the onions and fry, stirring continuously, for 3-5 minutes until translucent but not browned.  
  • Add the garlic, paprika and bay leaves and fry for a further minute.
  • Add the beans and tomatoes. Stir and break up the tomatoes a bit, then season with salt and pepper. Stir well and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes, checking regularly so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • As it finishes, stir the spinach through to wilt.
  • Serve hot or cold, as tapas or a side dish, sprinkled with the fresh parsley.
