This creamy pesto beans are full of antioxidants, fibre and protein packed! They come together so quickly and taste incredible and comforting!
In a large skillet over medium high heat, drizzle olive oil. Add hing, thyme and chilli flakes and roast for 30 seconds. Then add zucchini, spinach and kale and roast for another 1-2 minutes stirring. Cover the pan and let the vegetables soften for a few minutes, checking on them every minute to prevent them burning.
Once the greens are wilted transfer the vegetables to a blender along with tofu, basil, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, roasted pistachios and coconut milk and blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
In the same large skillet over low-medium heat add beans, then top it with the pesto cream sauce. Mix well and allow to cook for a few minutes until slightly thickens. May continue to cook if desired a thicker consistency.
Garnish with optional toppings: vegan yogurt or sour cream, spicy oil, roasted pistachios, and parsley or basil. Serve with naan or your favourite bread!
TIP: This sauce can also be used to add to pasta instead of beans!
