Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked butter beans canned or home-cooked
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice about 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Beans: If using canned butter beans, drain and rinse them thoroughly. If using home-cooked beans, ensure they are cooked until tender.
- Mix the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped parsley, smoked paprika, chili flakes, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Combine and Marinate: Add the butter beans to the bowl and gently toss to coat them evenly with the marinade. Ensure all the beans are well covered.
- Marinate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the beans to an airtight container. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Before serving, give the beans a gentle stir. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
