250g (1 ¼ cups) dry weight butter (lima) beans
1 large onion
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons fresh chopped curly parsley
2 tablespoons fresh chopped oregano
1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil
1 tablespoon fresh chopped thyme
1 vegetable stock cube
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar free ketchup
1 ½ tablespoons (18g) arrowroot
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Soak the butter beans overnight, changing the water every four hours or so. Changing the water regularly gets rid of the indigestible sugars. After 24 hours pour the water away. Cover the beans and boil...
