The butter beans are a great source of protein and fibre and I add in some sneaky vegetables too with some diced carrots!

Mike says
Our youngest (9) is a meat and potatoes lad but he LOVES this recipe. Its really good. I add some extra veggies sometimes but cut so small he doesn’t notice. Reminds me of baked beans a bit in the final taste. I also add a knob of butter at the end to increase the buttery taste of the white beans.
