- 3 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
- 1 large white onion diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh Greek oregano chopped (about 3 large sprigs)
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian Herbs
- 3-5 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cans butter beans drained and rinsed
Heat the olive oil: In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté the onion: Add the diced white onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly golden.
Add the garlic and herbs: Stir in the minced garlic, fresh oregano, and dried Italian herbs. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Incorporate the butter beans: Add the drained and rinsed butter beans to the skillet. Stir well to coat the beans with the aromatic mixture.
Cook and meld flavors: Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to combine and the beans to warm through.
Adjust seasoning: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, add a splash of lemon juice or drizzle of olive oil before serving.
Serve: Serve warm as a side dish, on toast, or as part of a main meal. Enjoy!
