Ok, stick with me here. I know this sounds crazy, but the combination of butter beans and burrata with basil and olive oil is off the charts delicious! Really! I wouldn’t steer you wrong would I?
I know it looks a bit messy, but it’s a lovely, comforting mess and if you will trust me and buy a can of butter beans and some burrata, I think you’ll be happy you did.
PrintButter Beans and Burrata
Ingredients
1 15 oz can of butter beans (If you can’t find butter beans, cannellini will do)

1/4 C extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 fresh lemon
3 T fresh basil, chopped
Crackers for serving
Instructions
Drain and rinse the beans
In a small pan, heat the beans over low heat, adding a generous squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil, adding salt and pepper to taste
Remove from heat and stir in chopped basil
Place the beans in a large serving bowl or on a platter, tear the burrata into large pieces and top the beans with it
Sprinkle with more olive oil, salt, pepper and lemon

Yum! Looks delicious. Do you have snow? We have some but could use more.
Hi Barb,
We have some snow, but not nearly enough! It’s good to hear from you. Hope you are doing well.
