Ingredients

4 cups butter beans fresh
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large carrot chopped
1 medium onion finely chopped
1 large green bell pepper diced
4 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt or more
1 teaspoon pepper
2 cups vegetable broth

Instructions

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent. Add the diced carrot and green bell pepper and sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables soften. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the butter beans, followed by the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine the ingredients. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the fresh butter beans are tender.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then serve.

TO FREEZE. Once cool, transfer the beans to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 3 to 4 months.

TO REHEAT. Gently reheat the beans in the microwave or a skillet over medium-low heat with a splash of vegetable broth.
