Sun-Dried Tomato & Butter Bean Stew

I needed a quick dinner and butter beans were in the only thing in my pantry. It's very creamy and delicious! I used a teaspoon of cornstarch instead of the flour, to make it gluten free. It wasn't quite enough for three people, but it would have been enough for myself and my hungry husband. Very fast though!

PUL Team - Dec. 12, 2024, 3:24 p.m.

So glad the butter beans came to the rescue, Suzy 😜 Love the tweaks to make the stew recipe gluten free!

Vraiment très bon

It's do delicious!

Easy to make and delicious. 😘

I've just made it and it's delicious.
I didn't have cooking cream, so I had ground some cashews with boiling water and I think it did just fine :)

I'm just curious, what is the purpose of the vinegar here?

PUL Team - Oct. 20, 2024, 6:06 p.m.

Hey Marijana, so happy to hear that the butter bean stew recipe is being enjoyed 🥰 The vinegar adds a touch of acidity to the recipe, which helps balance the richness of the dish and enhances the overall flavour. It also helps brighten up the creaminess. Feel free to use fresh lemon juice instead, if desired!

Delicious 👍🏼✨

Omg! So flavourful! A delicious, hearty , no fuss meal in minutes. Thank you for this recipe! ❤️❤️❤️

This is sooo good! It's comforting and satisfying. This is now a regular dish for us. Love it 🤗❤️

My second time making this recipe and I love it. I used chickpea flour for a gluten free option and homemade vegetable broth instead of water. I didn’t use a bouillon so I added more salt and onion powder.

Ooo thanks for taking the time to share your modifications with the stew, Priscila! It's so appreciated☺️

So simple and easy to make. My friends are always impressed with how delicious and healthy this recipe is

This was an absolute tummy hug! It came together so quickly, and my whole family loved it! We love all of your recipes! ❤️

Excellent, chaud, nourrissant, et réconfortant. Parfait pour les soirées d'hiver et d'automne. A refaire sans modération. (J'ai changé le poireau par un oignon et les épinards par de la mâche... On fait avec ce qu'on a sous la main 🫣)

Quick and easy and delish!

Hi! I love the app and the recipes in it, however I wanted to raise a little concern that in number of recipes (like this one) they use bullion cube. It would be fantastic if a swap option was available for that item. Our family and many of our friends prefer to avoid them and it limits choices of recipes here.

Thank you

PUL Team - Sept. 17, 2024, 11:17 p.m.

Thank you for the feedback, Alina! We understand the preference to avoid bouillon cubes and appreciate you taking the time to share this. One swap is a homemade vegetable broth or a low-sodium broth option in place of the bouillon and water. We'll keep this in mind moving forward as well 🫶✨

I made this recipe only because I had all of the ingredients and needed a quick lunch, but once I tried it I instantly regretted that I didn’t make more! It was especially delicious on the next day, I had it with a nice slice of bread and it was perfect:)

For such a simple recipe, this is a real winner. We'll definitely make this again.

Good. Left off one star because the flavour was a bit "one note" for me for lack of a better phrase.

Made this one a few times now, it's simple, satisfying, comforting and tasty!

Delicious✨

This is absolutely delicious! I will definitely make this again. The friends that I shared with loved it too.

😋

Lovely, simple and tasty. I didn't have soy cream or sun-dried tomatoes so I used coconut cream and fresh tomatoes and it worked perfectly.

One of the best flavors I’ve tasted. Cooking this meal made me feel like a real chef 😂 5/5

This was so satisfying! Loved it with some take and bake rolls.

made this for dinner. It was sooo yummy!!.I eye-balled some of the measurements but it still turned out great.

This was delicious!! Will definitely be making it again.

Yumm, I made mine more of a soup by adding a carton of vegetable soup.

A wonder. So very tasteful and easy to make!

This recipe is so good!

Easy to make and delicious, everyone in the family loved it

Absolutely delicious. The white wine elevates the flavours. Yum

subbed the flour for cornstarch due to personal preference and the leak for onion cause I didn't have leak. still turned out delicious!! a quick and easy perfect to make for lunch

Hi! Do you think substituting spinach for kale would be okay? I have soo much kale in my garden.

PUL Team - June 25, 2024, 5:17 p.m.

Hiya Lauren, yes substituting kale for spinach should work fine! Just chop it up and adjust the cooking time if needed since kale is a bit tougher than spinach 😊

I made this stew a few times already and all I can say is that it's delicious and very comforting. I am planning to make it again soon and freeze the leftovers. Currently I have a huge (almost 750 g) leek and I was wondering how many servings I could get out of that. Maybe you know how much did the leek you used in the recipe weigh?

PUL Team - June 20, 2024, 10:29 p.m.

Hi Katarina, so glad that you're enjoying the stew! Our large leeks are usually between 200-300 grams. Happy cooking 🫶

Reply

I love this recipe and it is so easy and fast.

Only change I made is using canned butterbeans/ whitebeans instead (much more convenient when you forgot to soak the dried beans the night before + they dont have the dried ones in my regular supermarket).

❤️

It happens so rarely that I don't really want to change anything about a recipe after I make it the first time but this is one. It's so nourishing, easy, jam packed with flavor and nutritious.

(after making it 8 times I couldn't help it, I suggest adding chili flakes in the same quantities as the thyme and adding roasted pumpkin seeds on top)

This is our favorite and we make it very often. Wow!!!

Oh my God this was divine. I couldnot find butter beans but used nothern beans instead ,omit the cream add a touch of cumin and paprika. I used raw spinach under the beans... I would never imagine. Just divine

Mmm lovely ideas to change up the stew, Ekim! So thrilled to hear it was a success as well 🫶

My canned lima beans were kind of bitter. Recipe was okay. I might have made it too acidic - either more tomato or more lemon juice. Might try again.

PUL Team - May 15, 2024, 1:05 a.m.

Hey Nicole, in case it helps, rinsing canned beans well can help get rid of any excess salt or other flavours 🙂

Reply

Wanted to love this since cozy creamy recipes are my favourite but it just didn’t measure up to the other recipes I’ve tried from this app (which have all been amazing). It felt plain despite my increasing the seasoning in the recipe. I think it could do with some mushrooms and maybe nutritional yeast which I can see a few others have added, i’ll try that next time and maybe sub soy cream for cashew cream and see how it goes!
Really enjoying the app and experimenting with all your recipes :)

Hello there! I see that you use a lot of leeks, onions, & garlic in your recipes. For people like me who don't eat them, how do you suggest we substitute it?

Thanks!

PUL Team - May 10, 2024, 7:47 p.m.

Hey there, Natasha, if you prefer not to use leeks, onions, or garlic, you can substitute them with similar herbs and spices that add depth and aroma, like ginger, fennel, or shallots.

If you prefer lower FODMAP alternatives, garlic-infused olive oil is a substitute for garlic whereas using chives or adding the top green part of green onions can be added at the end of cooking to help mimic onion and leek if you enjoy these 🙂

Such an amazing bowl of utter comfort, really delicious will be making on repeat

That was so nice very tasty and my wife loved it. Definitely make it again

This was delicious! Thank you so much!

This dish is so good! Delicious!

Nice nutritious bean stew. I had it with new potatoes

Another excellent recipe! I substituted shallots for leeks and garnished with green onions, parsley and chili flakes. Any idea how to use up the leftover soy cooking cream?

This was really quick and really tasty! Even my boyfriend who doesn't usually like sun dried tomatoes enjoyed this dish very much. Thanks for another great recipe!

Wow - this was really delicious!

I've never been a bean lover but I really wanted to start eating and liking beans, and since this recipe looked incredibly yummy, I thought I'd give it a go.
I just had it now and it was absolutely delicious! Didn't know beans can taste that good hahah
I also tossed in some button mushrooms which are a great addition to this recipe in my opinion. ☺️ (And I swapped fresh for frozen spinach, because that's just what I had at home - worked just as well)
Highly recommend! Thanks for this deliciousness!

Hi there, Susanne! You can roasted tomatoes as a substitute, but it will impact the flavour of the stew slightly. And we hope to create a cookbook someday! Thanks for expressing interest in it, and until then, thanks for the love and support 💛

Absolutely delicious ❤️

I love how easy & quick this was to put together & it was a delicious cosy weeknight meal along with some gluten free sourdough. Great comfort food that makes you feel nourished. 💚

Used a cashew cream (1/4 cup of soaked raw cashews blended with some water) instead of the soy cooking cream. Delicious recipe

Made this twice in one week, it was so good and easy to make!

Quick easy tasty and healthy- what more could you ask for 💗

This was simple yet filling. It's a great recipe to change up now and then. This time, I put sliced olives in, olive oil and nutritional yeast. Great week night meal! ❤️

So delish!!!! I didn’t have ready to go butter beans so I just used navy beans. Amazing dish as always ✨

Love this cozy recipe! It was really easy to pull together (I LOVE one pot meals) and is super delicious. I was wondering if subbing the leek for onion would work? I have those all the time and it would be easier to use it. Will definitely make this again! (Also quick shoutout to the app designers and coders. This is by far the best cooking and recipe app I’ve used. The step by step instructions with photos and built in timers and AMAZING.)

PUL Team - March 26, 2024, 1:46 a.m.

Hey there, Kelly, so glad you enjoyed the recipe and thanks for the incredibly kind words about the app. Robin is our sole coder - so this is a huge compliment I'll pass along to him 😇 And substituting leek with onion will work perfectly in the stew! You'll even see it in the ingredient list as a swap option if you click the little green downward-facing bracket. I hope this helps!

Reply

Loved this recipe!! It came together super quickly with simple ingredients. I served it with some crusty sundried tomato bread from our local bakery. I couldn’t find vegan cream so swapped for a big scoop of plain unsweetened yogurt and it worked perfectly. Definitely adding to the regular rotation of weeknight meals!

Fantastic easy to prep dish with tons of flavor. My 1.5 year old ate it up and asked for more. Will definitely be making again!

One of my recent favourites! So easy to make and great flavour and nutrition profile!
I subbed the soup cream for oat yoghurt and it worked out quite well, they don’t sell soy cream where I live.

Wow! Today I asked ChatGPT to randomly suggest a recipe from your website, and it was this one, haha... I could not resist writing a comment! Although a bit on the pricy side in my area, it turned out even better than I expected! Amazing - thanks!

PUL Team - March 20, 2024, 10:57 p.m.

Hi Maria, we're delighted to hear you enjoyed the dish! While we haven't personally tried it with dried white beans, soaking them overnight and adjusting the cooking time as needed should work well. Let us know how it goes if you try it out 😃

Reply

I'm starting to feel like a broken record when rating these recipes, because once again this one is outstanding. It's Tuscan chicken pasta-esque in flavor, obviously without the chicken or the pasta.
I've never used butter beans dried or canned, but we've been missing out, they're great! I will say, we found we needed to add a fair amount of salt, we think because we made our beans from dried and didn't use salt in our initial preparation.
Again, we've never made or even used them before, I only bring this up for anyone else who isn't used to prepping dry beans or whose local markets also don't sell butter beans/only carry the small green limas in cans; this is the only recipe we've tried where we've found it to be a bit bland when following the recipe and also the only recipe we've made using beans that weren't canned simply because our local markets don't sell them. This might be VERY obvious to others, but to us bean cooking novices we were surprised that for once we needed to add more salt than was recommended, we're learning! Once we seasoned to our taste it was perfection! My husband commented that he's noticed that the recipes we've tried from this app are very filling, with just a few exceptions. This one is super hearty and we found the allotted portions were actually on the large side for our family of normally big eaters.

PUL Team - March 20, 2024, 9:05 p.m.

Hey Kristi, how wonderful to hear you enjoyed the recipe! Using butter beans for the first time is so exciting 🤩 Adjusting the salt to taste is a great tip, especially when cooking with dried beans. It's fantastic that the recipes from the app consistently provide satisfying meals, though portion sizes may vary for different appetites. We're excited fo you to keep exploring and enjoying your culinary journey! 😃

This recipe is sooo delicious and very fast and easy to make . Thyme and rosemary is a great match. The sun dried tomato adds umami … dare I say , like bacon would.

OMG… I can’t believe how ridiculously easy and quick it was to put together this dish and how much flavour it delivers for such a small effort. You did it again, PUL! Thanks!

Eli - March 13, 2024, 12:10 a.m.

Mein erstes Gericht von der App… so lecker!!! Schnell zubereitet und trotzdem besonders 👌🏻

I not usually a big fan of beans and this is the first time I’m trying Lima beans. I had to sub the cooking cream for coconut cream because that’s what I have and what I can find in my local grocery store and I also subbed the white vinegar for apple cider vinegar because that’s what I had on hand. I have to say, this is as good as the picture looked. I thought the coconut cream might over power the other ingredients but I couldn’t taste the coconut at all! It was creamy with just the right amount of acidity and the flavours of the sun dried tomatoes just added another layer of tartness to it but not as tomatoes as a tomato paste would’ve. I’ll totally make this again for a weekly meal rotation in the future! Thanks for the wonderful recipe pick up limes team! ❤️

This dish comes together very quickly - love the sun-dried tomato in this. I would say the dish reminded me more of a cream of spinach then a bean stew but it was delicious regardless of what it is called. We enjoyed it with some herb crackers.

For such a simple dish this packs a major flavour punch. I’ve made it with the white wine vinegar and with lemon juice and find the lemon juice far superior. At the moment we are making this dish every week and doubling up to have leftovers for lunch the next day. 10/10

Aww how cool to hear, Izzi, thank you! Love butter beans 🙌

Absolutely loved this one! Super simple and quick and oh so yummy 👌 thank you for another goodie 🙌 will definitely be making this again soon!

Not sure I would call it a stew but it was delicious piled on top of crusty bread. Subbed out coconut cream and lemon juice and it was delicious.

Delicious and so quick to make on a work night!

First time trying this recipe. I used great northern beans as could not find butter beans. Made some cashew cream as did not have soy cooking cream. Used fresh herbs instead. It was really delicious. Thank you for the inspiration. It is on the favorite list.

Great northern beans are a wonderful idea, Andy, thanks for the lovely review! :)

Delicious! I have to do this recipe every day ❤️

I love it when my daughter cannot see the difference in the end between your "outcome photo" and what I serve 😍

How exciting! Hugs to you and your daughter, Isabella 🤗

So delicious, warming and packed with nutrients!
I even added a bit of kale on top of the spinach ✨

Thanks for always sharing those wonderful recipes, Sadia!

Woohoo! We're so thrilled it was enjoyed and a lovely idea to add kale to the stew, Lou 😊

Made it exactly as written. Absolutely savory and delicious.

This was amazing! Quick and easy to make. I made the Naan to go with it. So good!

So amazing! The taste is addictively great and I am already planning to try it out with different things instead of beans… Orzo, macaroni, tofu bean curd… what a great taste.

Very tasty, it’s so nice to eat healthy, nutritious and delicious!!!! 🤤

I couldn’t find soy cream in the local store, so I put some cannellini beans in the food processor with lemon juice mixed well then added to the pot. It turned out great! Definitely going on the regular rotation.

Sweet!

I'm not really a bean lover but this dish changed my mind! Amazing!

Tangy, creamy, aromatic and easy to make. Excellent for lazy winter days!

This stew is delicious and a perfect winter dish!

This stew is soo delicious and warming for the soul! I strongly recommend trying this recipe

Flavourful!

Super creamy and balance of flavours. The consistency of the beans is great and the sundried tomatoes give it that extra flavour, while the leeks make it a bit sweeter. Will definitely make it again!

This is absolutely delicious and so easy and quick to make. An absolute banger for mid week meals. I used frozen spinach (which defrosted in some hot water while I was getting everything else ready) for ease and I can’t wait to make it again. ☺️

Hey Lisa! Woohoo - we’re so thrilled to hear the stew was enjoyed. Thanks for sharing your experience with it 🫶

Delicious meal and very easy to make!

Super easy to make! Such a cozy and comfort meal this winter!

Really tasty ✨🫶🏻

This is my new comfort food, I ate it with baked potato, sooo good 🧡😭

We made this last night and it was delicious. Two slight changes because of lack of availability to butter beans and dried rosemary. (I know!) I used Royal Corona beans which I cooked. They are meaty and creamy. Fresh rosemary instead of dried and a citrus champagne vinegar (didn't have plain white wine vinegar) which gave a nice vibrancy. The substitutions were not true changes to the recipe. This is one more PUL recipe that was easy to follow and yielded a delicious meal.

Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience with the stew, Lisa! We're so thrilled that it was enjoyed with the modifications. Sounds incredible 🤩

Amazing 😍 and so easy to make

Very nice and simple to make!

I’ve remade this twice now! I substituted the seasoning with Harissa spice and Zataar and its absolutely delicious!!

This is really really tasty! Added some mushrooms and mock mince for crush, 100% recommend giving this a try!

So delicious and comforting. Had this with some garlic bread when it was -7°c outside 🍲

So glad that the stew was enjoyed, Roisin, and hope you stay warm out there!

Makkelijke recepten, winters stevig van smaak -dat is fijn- en smeuïg comfortfood. Vond 't het lekker en handig.

Delicious! Very comforting. Sundried tomatoes aren't readily available in the Caribbean so I tried some canned fired roasted tomatoes and it tasted great.

A lovely idea, Nikki, thanks for sharing your experience with the butter bean stew! 😃

We absolutely loved it! It's easy enough for a week night, and super delicious with some toasted bread.
I used frozen spinach and it worked well, just added it a bit sooner in the process, with the water, to allow to thaw.

My 9 year olds devoured it. That’s a big win! The recipe came together very quickly with ingredients I had in the pantry.

Excellent! Warm, filling, and delicious.

Hey, PUL Team 👋👋👋

Someone already asked, but I would really like to know if this would freeze fine. I know you normally label "freezer-friendly" recipes as such, and I am wondering what ingredient(s) prevent(s) this dish from being one of those.

Thanks in advance for your reply,

Karmen

PUL Team - Jan. 17, 2024, 5:20 p.m.

Hey Carmen, we actually imagine the stew can be freezer-friendly but haven't confirmed it ourselves! The creamy texture of the soy cooking cream might slightly change after freezing, so if you give it a try just consider reheating gently and tiring stirring the stew well. 🤗

This dish is SO delicious. It came together in no time and is perfect for a chilly evening. It's especially good with the bread as suggested. I think this will become a go to for me for a quick weeknight dinner

Does this freeze okay? Would it be all right to use frozen spinach instead of fresh?

PUL Team - Jan. 16, 2024, 11:45 p.m.

Hey Kaylee, yes you can use frozen spinach instead of fresh if you'd like! If it adds more moisture you can increase the cooking time. We haven't had a chance to try freezing the stew yet but we imagine you could. Let us know if you experiment with it 🤗

Julie - Jan. 17, 2024, 11:19 a.m.

I don't know about the freezing but I used frozen spinach with no problem at all. It was delicious!

It’s a perfect combination of sourness and umami. Along with toasted bread makes a delicious meal!

Love the flavours of this meal!

Hearty meal. Great for cold winter or autumn dinners. Recommended! ♥️

So creamy and tasty! I also added some mushrooms before adding the beans.

If you like stew you will love it!

Im eating it now and couldn’t wait to post about how much I love it. The creaminess mixed with the salty sundried tomatoes makes eating these beans truly a pleasure. The PUL team has done it again!

This was really easy and really yummy! I had made a loaf of bread and was looking for a dish to have it with and this was perfect. I wouldn't change a thing!

Made it tonight. What a delicious and comforting meal! Loved it :)

Is the bread counted in the nutrition values?

PUL Team - Jan. 16, 2024, 12:03 a.m.

Hey Louise, yes the bread is! The optional chili flakes and fresh parsley are excluded from the nutritional value estimate though 😊

Filling

I made this last night and it was delicious, and it is still delicious when reheated the next day!

Love this! So quick and easy! I made this after going for a run to have something substantial and it hit the spot! Love that so many of the ingredients can be kept in the pantry too. I'd be making this one often for sure!

Just made this and it could not have been easier or more delicious! A great meal for the whole family without a single complaint from the kids. Will definitely be making this again!

I made this for dinner and it was delicious and SOOO quick!! 😛 two substitutions 1) used a red onion instead of a leek, 2) Italian seasoning instead of just the two herbs included in the recipe.
The entire meal took me about 15 minutes to throw together. Definitely making this again!!

nedajane - Jan. 15, 2024, 5 a.m.

Sorry, three substitutions- the third being coconut cream instead of soy cream. Did not over power the dish at all!
