Method
Step 1: Soak the Beans
- Soak the dried butter beans in a large bowl of water overnight. Drain and rinse them before placing in a pot with fresh water and bringing it to a boil. Cook for 45–60 minutes until tender.
Step 2: Preheat and Prepare Vegetables
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, toss the chopped red bell pepper and halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20–25 minutes until soft and slightly charred.
Step 3: Blend the Romesco Sauce
- Once the vegetables are roasted, allow them to cool slightly. Transfer them to a food processor along with toasted almonds, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and chili flakes. Blend until smooth, adjusting seasoning as needed.
Step 4: Combine Beans and Sauce
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked butter beans with the romesco sauce, gently folding until all beans are well-coated.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish
- Transfer the mixture to a platter, garnish with fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve warm or at room temperature.
