Butter Beans with Roasted Tomato, Garlic, and Thyme

45 Mins

Prep Time: 45 minutes (plus time for the beans to soak)

Serves 2

Ingredients:

8 oz Butter Beans, soaked overnight and rinsed
2 Tomatoes, cored and quartered
1 head Garlic, peeled and crushed
3 sprigs Thyme
3 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 Tbsp. White Vinegar
Salt and Pepper

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over a high flame. Add the butter beans and stir. Reduce to a simmer and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. While the beans are cooking, in a separate pan, combine the tomatoes, garlic and thyme along with 1 Tbsp. olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place into the oven and roast until slightly browned, stirring once, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Strain the beans and place them into a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining olive oil, vinegar and the tomato-garlic-thyme mixture along with a pinch of salt and pepper, to taste. Stir until just combined.
