@dr.emily.nutrition: Welcome back to meals I make on repeat as a PhD Nutritionist 🩷🥗 This week, it’s my MARRY ME BEANS packed with plant protein and lots of fibre but most importantly, it’s so delicious 🌱 Makes 2-3 servings INGREDIENTS: 1 onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes large handful of fresh basil drizzle of olive oil for cooking 7 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped 1 can butter beans (I used 570g jar) 1 tsp garlic granules 1 tsp smoked paprika salt & pepper to taste CREAMY SAUCE: 300g (1 block) silken tofu ¼ cup cashews 3 tbsp nutritional yeast 2 tbsp milk for blending (add more if needed) Serve with protein of choice: tempeh, tofu, chicken, prawns - you name it. METHOD: Prep the sauce by adding all the ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Heat a large pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until golden brown. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, mixed herbs, smoked paprika and garlic granules and sauté for another minute. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and beans (with the liquid). Let it simmer on medium heat for around 5 minutes. Pour over the creamy tofu sauce, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Scatter over the fresh basil and serve with your cooked protein of choice. Here I used tempeh bites but I also love it with prawns too. #highfibre #beans #nutrition #highprotein #plantprotein
