Sauteed Spinach And Butter Beans


Got this recipe from a magazine this summer. It was so easy to do and the flavor makes me want to stock up on butter beans. i caramelized the onions, rather than crisped them because i had too many onions in the pan and the moisture lent itself to the softer result. i used rice wine vinegar. And garnished with the pepper flakes. it was so good. hope you enjoy it as much as i did.
