2 crushed garlic cloves

1/2 tsp red chilli flakes

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 tbsp fresh dill, plus extra to serve

400g tin butter beans, rinsed and drained

Sauté the onions and pepper over a medium heat with a little oil. Add the garlic. Add in the beans, tomatoes, dill, lemon juice, and 1/2 tin of water. Simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
