Method
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onions and rosemary and cook for 20 mins, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden.
- Mix through the butter beans, bay leaf, stock and vinegar. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 mins until the beans are starting to soften.
- Remove the bay leaf, then spoon a quarter of the beans into a jug or bowl and blitz with a stick blender until smooth. Stir the creamy sauce through the beans, adding a splash more water, if needed, to loosen the texture.
- Serve sprinkled with parsley and a grind of black pepper, with crusty bread on the side to scoop up the beans, if you like.
- Tip: Use vegan stock cubes, if required.
