Easy Butter Beans With Tomato and Marjoram image

Provided by Zuza Zak

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

400 g (14 oz) dried butter (lima) beans, soaked overnight (or 2 x 14 oz cans, rinsed and drained)
2 Tbsp. neutral oil
1 onion, roughly chopped
6 slices lean bacon, chopped
1 Tbsp. dried marjoram
1 tsp. paprika
1 400 g (14 oz) can chopped tomatoes
Salt and white and black pepper, to taste

Steps:

If you are using soaked dried beans, drain and rinse them and then cook them in a large pan of boiling, salted water for about 35 minutes, or until soft (but not falling apart).
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat and fry the onion and bacon for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened. Stir in the marjoram and paprika and cook for a further minute or two.
Once they're glossy, add the chopped tomatoes and the now cooked and drained butter beans (or canned beans). Allow to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, before serving with some crusty bread.
