Dried Butter Beans for Creamy Curries, Soups and Stews

Topop Butter Beans - 500g is a pack of dried whole butter beans, with butter beans listed as the ingredient and Produce of China stated on the pictured label. These large, pale beans develop a soft, creamy interior when fully cooked, with a mild flavour suited to spiced curries, tomato-based stews and vegetable soups. This 500g bag is a dry cooking ingredient, distinct from canned butter beans, and requires preparation and thorough cooking before serving.

Why Choose Topop Butter Beans?

The broad whole beans give soups and curries a substantial texture while taking on the flavours of the surrounding sauce. Leave them intact for a chunky stew or mash fully cooked beans for a smooth accompaniment. Their mild taste works with garlic, herbs and tomato as well as ginger, cumin and other curry spices. The 500g pack lets you portion out each recipe's quantity 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 enough liquid throughout, and do not eat the beans raw or undercooked. Check that the centres are soft before using the beans in a finished dish. Cooking time varies with soaking and cooking method; 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.

Serving Suggestions

  • Add fully cooked butter beans to a tomato-and-garlic stew with your preferred herbs.
  • Combine tender cooked beans with a ginger, cumin and tomato masala for a butter bean curry.
  • Stir cooked beans into vegetable soup and simmer briefly to bring the flavours together.
  • Mash fully cooked beans with olive oil, garlic and lemon for a creamy side dish.
  • Bake cooked beans in a tomato sauce with vegetables, serving with rice or crusty bread.
