Before becoming vegan, this was my go-to dinner when I was on the keto diet. Substitute the bread for cauliflower rice and voilà - you have yourself a delicious low-carb and high-fat meal! Not to mention the fibre benefits from the butter beans. Pair this dish with rice, homemade chips or, my personal favourite, fresh sourdough from the bakery. You just can’t go wrong with these ingredients that are packed full of flavour. The white wine is optional, however, it add’s an absolutely divine taste overall to the dish. Plus, since you’ve opened a bottle, you might as well have a glass on the side with your meal. You’ve deffo earned it after all that cooking! I’d love to see how you enjoy this recipe, whether it’s keto or non-vegan - tag me on IG or TikTok @CeginKali
