The first thing you'll taste is the lemony, garlicky tang in these creamy, protein-packed lemon garlic butter beans. I grew up in the Midwest, but over the years, Southern classic butter beans have become one of my favorites. Even if you did grow up in the South, trust me, these are not the butter beans your Grandma made for you.

Ingredients

1 can butter beans , 16 ounce
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice
0.5 tablespoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley , or as needed, for garnish

Instructions

1

Strain butter beans, but reserve liquid; set aside.
2

Melt butter and olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat until sizzling. Add onions and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and stir just until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3

Add lemon juice, lemon zest, and Dijon mustard to saucepan, stirring until well combined. Stir in the beans, and add some of the reserved bean liquid until you reach your preferred consistency. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until beans are heated through, 4 to 5 minutes.
4

Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve.
