  2. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional 30 seconds, being careful not to let the garlic brown.
  3. Add 2 cans of rinsed butter beans, 1 cup of vegetable stock, and 3 tablespoons of white miso paste to the skillet. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of whole cream or coconut cream, stir well and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Once the sauce has thickened, add a handful of fresh baby spinach and stir until wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat, drizzle in the juice of half a lemon, mixing well, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Garnish with fresh dill if desired, and serve hot alongside crusty bread or over rice.
