Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil
- 2 onions, peeled and roughly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely grated
- 200 grams baby spinach, roughly chopped
- 570 grams jar white haricot or butter beans, drained and rinsed (400 grams net)
- 2 heaped teaspoons red miso paste (white will work, too)
- 150 milliliters single cream
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Salt (optional)
- 2 eggs
- 2-3 tablespoons White Mausu peanut rayu, to taste
Cooking Instructions
1. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and stir-fry for five minutes until they begin to color.
2. Stir in the garlic, reduce the heat to low, and cover the pan partially. Cook for an additional five minutes to soften the onions.
3. Add the spinach and stir-fry for one minute until just wilted. Incorporate the beans into the mixture.
4. Mix the miso with 50 milliliters of boiling water and stir this into the beans and spinach. Add the cream and allow it to bubble for a minute.
5. Lower the heat, stir in the lemon juice, and adjust for salt if necessary, noting that the miso is already salty.
6. Create two indentations in the bean mixture and crack the eggs into them. Cook for two minutes, then cover the pan and cook for an additional two minutes, or longer if firmer yolks are preferred.
7. Drizzle the peanut rayu over the dish and serve immediately.
