I’m always on the hunt for new ways to enjoy beans. They’re a great source of plant protein, a nutrients, and budget-friendly! Like these salsa verde butter beans.
The mix of herbs is really the key to the flavour and will elevate your bean games.
My favourite part is that you can have a nutritious and delicious meal in less than 10 minutes.

Notes
I love to eat this as a main meal, with some toasted sourdough bread, but it is also great as a side dish for meat or fish.
