I always encourage mindful sourcing when preparing this Creamy Miso Butter Beans. Choosing organic butter beans, if possible, gives the beans a richer flavour and supports thoughtful farming practices. Local miso pastes have a wonderful depth, too, so check your nearest health food store or farmer’s market.

For a thoughtful swap, if butter beans aren’t in your pantry, lima beans or even cannellini can offer a similar creamy texture that lovingly carries the miso butter sauce.

Before beginning, take a moment to appreciate these ingredients. Notice the smooth, plump beans, the golden miso paste aroma, and the delicate fragrance of fresh garlic and shallots. Store any unused cooked beans in a glass container, covered, in the fridge for up to three days to preserve their gentle texture and flavour.

These ingredients come together in this Creamy Miso Butter Beans to create something truly nourishing on multiple levels. Here’s the gentle secret that makes this dish feel particularly meaningful: the balance between the creamy butter beans and that miso butter sauce, really capturing a heartwarming, soulful essence that lingers.
