I bought my dad a small rosemary bush for Christmas. He loves the smell. I used some of it to make the warm butter beans and oh my, they were DIVINE. It’s amazing how so few ingredients can create such a delightful dish. I will definitely be making this again and again. :)

Made this tonight for dinner – was a huge hit with both me and my husband, which is great as we usually have very different tastes! It was so quick to put together too… exactly the way I like my dinners to be.

Thank you for sharing this recipe, and for this blog which I’ve just discovered and already know is going to be one of my favourites!

the bean salad looks lovely but unfortunately I haven’t come across canned fava beans in australia so might have to wait until spring to try it out with some fresh fava (broad) beans

Jules – lovely, lovely recipe *again*. This is my kind of food. I think of all the canned beans butters are my favourite – I just love their texture. I can imagine eating this mashed onto toast, for breakfast or a quick lunch.
