Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup (79 ml) raw cashews, soaked for at least 2 hours and drained
  • ⅔ cup (158 ml) water
  • 1 teaspoon light miso
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium shallot, small dice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¾ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoons grainy mustard
  • ⅓ lb (151 grams) green beans, trimmed and chopped into 2-inch pieces
  • sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 398 ml cans butter beans, drained and rinsed (about 3 cups beans total)
  • 2 cups (500 ml) vegetable stock
  • ¾ cup (177 ml) frozen peas
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup (59 ml) fresh dill leaves, chopped
  • Crusty bread, for serving

Instructions

  • Make the cashew cream. In an upright high-speed blender, combine the cashews, water and miso. Blend on high until you have a smooth cream consistency. Set aside.
  • Place a braiser-style pot or deep skillet on the stove and set it to medium heat. Once hot, pour in the olive oil and swirl it around. Add the shallots and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, coriander, and mustard to the pot and stir for 30 seconds. Add the green beans, season with salt and pepper, and stir. Then, add the butter beans and vegetable stock. Stir and place a lid on top. Bring the beans to a boil and then simmer uncovered until green beans are tender, about 8 minutes.
  • Once green beans are tender, add the frozen peas and cashew cream. Season again with salt and pepper. Keep stirring until green peas are tender and bright green, about 2 minutes. The liquid will reduce and thicken.
  • Add the lemon juice and dill to the beans and stir. Serve the dilly beans and peas piping hot with some crusty bread for scooping.

Recipe Notes

  • Any white bean will work well in this recipe! I just like the big and toothsome butter beans.
Comfy and cozy dilly beans and peas! This vegan dinner with beans and veg comes together in one skillet in about 40 minutes. It's lush, comforting, and filled with flavor.
