Creamy Beans with Garlic and Sumac
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 2 shallots finely minced
- 6 cloves garlic finely minced
- 2 cans large butter beans (or cannellini beans) 15 oz, with a little liquid
- 200 ml vegetable broth
- 1 lemon juiced
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- salt kosher, to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp sumac
- scallions or chives thinly sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- In a pan over medium heat, add oil. Next add shallot and cook down until fragrant and tender, about 1-2 minutes. Add garlic and saute for another minute.
- Add beans to the pan (mostly drained with a small amount of the bean liquid) and saute again. Add vegetable broth, lemon juice and nutritional yeast and stir to combine. Bring to a low simmer, then transfer 1/4 of the mixture into a blender. Blend until smooth and return the mixture to the pan. The result should be a nice, creamy consistency. Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender, just be sure not to blend too much. Or you'll end up with bean mush.
- Season the beans with salt and pepper, then remove from heat. When ready to serve, sprinkle with a generous amount of sumac and garnish with scallions or chives. Finish off with a drizzle of olive oil and enjoy with a crusty piece of bread.
