Ingredients
Method
- Heat oil in a skillet. Cook onion for 5 minutes, then stir in garlic for 30 seconds.
- Add tomatoes, oregano and salt. Simmer for 10 minutes until slightly reduced, then fold in beans and warm for 5 minutes.
- Stir in spinach until wilted. Loosen with a spoonful of water if the sauce is too thick.
A little note
Spoon over toast or serve with crusty bread.
Cooking tips
- Simmer the tomato sauce before adding beans so it thickens without breaking them down.
- Fold spinach in by handfuls and stop cooking once it wilts, keeping the sauce loose enough to spoon.
Ingredient swaps
Cannellini beans can replace butter beans in the same drained weight; their smaller size gives a different texture.
