Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 shallots thinly sliced
  • ½ cup canned artichoke hearts drained and roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 28 ounces (2 cans) butter beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 ½ cups vegetable stock
  • ½ cup whole cream

  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add shallots and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until translucent.
  2. Stir in garlic and artichoke hearts, cooking for an additional 2 minutes while stirring frequently.
  3. Add the rinsed butter beans and vegetable stock, stirring to combine. Simmer for 10 minutes to reduce the mixture.
  4. Mix in the cream and parmesan cheese and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  5. Fold in the baby spinach, sea salt, and black pepper, removing from heat once the spinach wilts. Stir in lemon juice before serving.

You can substitute the butter beans with other white beans if preferred.
Adjust the seasoning to taste; additional lemon juice can brighten the flavor.
