Creamy Vegan Butter Beans
Ingredients
- 1/2 white onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or water
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 15 oz can of butter beans
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/2 cup vegan cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- 1 handful fresh Basil
Preparation
Prep all of the ingredients: finely dice the onion, mince or microplane the garlic, and quarter the tomatoes. Drain and rinse the beans. Hold off on prepping the basil until the end.
Saute the onions and a tablespoon of olive oil or water over medium heat until the onions are translucent for 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and saute for another minute.
Add the tomatoes and salt. Saute for another 5 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft.
Add the broth, tomato paste, and beans. Mix to combine. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
Add the vegan cream cheese and the balsamic glaze. Mix until cream cheese is incorporated into the sauce. Let simmer for another minute or two.
Roughly chop or tear the basil. Add the basil to the beans and mix to incorporate. Serve and enjoy right away.
