Dried Butter Beans for Creamy Curries, Soups and Stews

Natco Butter Beans - 500g is a pack of dried whole butter beans for cooking into curries, soups and vegetable stews. The large, pale beans develop a soft, creamy interior when thoroughly cooked, with a mild flavour that pairs with tomato, garlic, herbs and warming spices. Leave them whole for a chunky dish or mash cooked beans for a smooth accompaniment. This 500g bag is a dry ingredient, not canned beans or a ready-to-eat meal.

Why Choose Natco Butter Beans?

The broad whole beans give sauces and soups a substantial texture while their mild taste leaves room for your preferred seasoning. Cooked beans work with a ginger-and-tomato masala as well as a garlic-and-herb stew. Mash a portion into the cooking liquid to thicken a dish, or blend fully cooked beans into a creamy dip. Portion the 500g pack for each recipe and keep the remaining dry beans tightly sealed.

Sort through the beans and rinse thoroughly before preparation. Follow the current pack instructions or a recipe specifically intended for dried butter beans for soaking, draining and cooking. Cook in fresh water until fully tender, maintaining sufficient liquid and checking that the centres are soft before finishing the dish. Cooking time varies with soaking and method, so judge readiness by texture rather than a fixed time alone. If pressure cooking, follow the appliance's liquid requirements and capacity guidance. When adapting a recipe written for canned beans, fully prepare and cook these dried beans first rather than substituting them directly. Do not eat the beans raw or undercooked.

Serving Suggestions

• Simmer fully cooked butter beans in a tomato-and-garlic stew with your preferred herbs.

• Add cooked beans to vegetable soup for a chunky, creamy texture.
• Mash fully cooked beans with olive oil, garlic and lemon for a smooth side dish or dip.
