Ingredients :

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 onion diced
• 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika pimenton dulce - or hot paprika if you like it spicy
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 cans butter beans 400ml/14oz (lima beans), drained and rinsed
• 2 cans plum tomatoes 400ml/14oz
• Sea salt and black pepper

Instructions :

• In a large saucepan, heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the onions and fry, stirring continuously, for 3-5 minutes until translucent but not browned.
• Add the garlic, paprika and bay leaves and fry for a further minute.
• Add the beans and tomatoes. Stir and break up the tomatoes a bit, then season with salt and pepper. Stir well and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes, checking regularly so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
• As it finishes, stir the spinach through to wilt.
