Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 shallots, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans butter beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons arugula leaves, chopped
  • snipped chives, to garnish
  • salt and pepper

Method

  • Heat the oil in a saucepan.
  • Add the shallots and garlic and fry, stirring often, until tender.
  • Add the broth and half the butter beans and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • When the mixture is thick and the beans have started to break down to a paste, beat in the remaining butter beans and the arugula and allow them to heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  • Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve garnished with snipped chives and freshly milled black pepper.
