Curried butter beans with flatbreads

Preparation

1
Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and grate the fresh ginger.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
4
Add the curry powder and turmeric to the pan. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, to toast the spices.
5
Pour in the canned chopped tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6
Drain and rinse the canned butter beans, then add them to the sauce. Stir well and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the beans to heat through and absorb the flavors.
7
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, which should only take 1-2 minutes.
8
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If the curry is too thick, add a splash more water or broth.
9
Warm the flatbreads according to package instructions. Serve the curried butter beans hot, garnished with fresh chopped coriander, alongside the warm flatbreads.
