Zingy Peas and Butter Bean (Lima Beans) Bowl

This is one of those meals that tastes far more comforting than the effort it takes. Creamy butter beans, sweet leeks, peas, and spinach simmered together with miso, lemon, and nutritional yeast — it’s nourishing, protein-rich, and naturally velvety without any cream. Perfect for busy weeknights, meal prep, or those cosy, low-energy evenings.

Delicious! Used good quality jar of butter beans. Fab dinner (generous portions and some leftover too) and will definitely make it again!

Second time I’ve made this and it’s definitely a winner. The flavours all work so well together. My freezer is fillling up with batch cooked food which is fab since I’m often too tired to cook after a long day at work! Frozen spinach and Queen Butter Beans for the win. Grazie x

Easy and delicius recepie. I didn t have spinach so I put broccoli and insted of nutritional yeast soya sos and tahini. The Ask Gigi is a great tool when you need to swap an ingridient.
