🍅 How to Make It

1. Roast the Tomatoes

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
Spread cherry tomatoes on a roasting tray, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, and roast for 10 minutes.

2. Make the Miso Green Sauce

Blanch spinach briefly, then drain and squeeze out excess water.
Sauté shallots in olive oil with a pinch of salt for 5 minutes, add garlic, and cook 2 minutes more.
Transfer everything to a blender with miso paste, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and blend until smooth.

3. Build the Bowl

Warm the butterbeans with their stock in a saucepan.
Stir in the blended miso green sauce and heat gently until just warmed through.
Top with roasted cherry tomatoes, tofu feta, toasted seeds if using, and a squeeze of lemon.
