Ingredients

  • 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped

  • 2 medium cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can butter beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1/4 cup canned tomato purée

  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh dill

  • 1 teaspoon minced flat-leaf parsley

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Greek

  • Pinch of ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Heat oil over medium heat in a medium skillet until shimmering. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until tender and nearly translucent, about 6 minutes.

  2. Add beans, tomato puree, vinegar, dill, parsley, oregano, and cinnamon. Season with salt and pepper, bring to a simmer, and cook until flavors meld, about 3 minutes.
