Green Saucy Beans (dairy-free)

Step 1

In a large skillet, warm the butter (or olive oil) over medium-low heat. Add the sliced leeks and sauté until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 2

To the skillet, add the minced garlic, drained white beans, frozen peas, and broth. Bring to a low simmer and allow to cook for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by combining the spinach (or kale), basil, cream cheese, parmesan, water, lemon juice and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth. Taste test and add more lemon juice, cheese, or salt, as desired.

Step 4

Pour the green sauce into the skillet with the beans. Stir until evenly combined. Continue to simmer for a few more minutes, or until a thick saucy texture is achieved. Serve warm alongside your favorite protein or on top of toast, and enjoy!
