Butter beans with a spicy zing
Butter beans with a spicy zing
“I was told that chillies are medicine, that they can assist in bringing passion and awaken the inner creative fire inside. Although, let’s remember that no two chillies are the same. Some have a larger punch than others. This dish is fire and spicy, with lots of herbs and a zesty vibe from the lemon. Perfect for dunking into or to complement a salad. ”
