Creamy Miso Butter Beans

Print Recipe

Creamy Miso Butter Beans combine tender butter beans with a rich, savory miso sauce for a comforting and nutritious dish perfect as a side or main.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked butter beans (or canned, drained and rinsed)
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the miso paste and soy sauce, mixing thoroughly with the onions and garlic.
  4. Add the butter beans to the skillet and gently stir to coat them with the miso mixture.
  5. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes so the flavors meld and the beans warm through.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the beans.
  7. Season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
  8. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

For an extra creamy texture, mash a few butter beans with the back of a spoon before adding the cream. This dish pairs beautifully with steamed rice or crusty bread.
