- 2 tbsp dark miso
- 2 tins butter beans

- Remove and discard the roots and the dark green tips from 3 spring onions, then slice the stems into thin rings. Warm 2 tbsp of groundnut or vegetable oil in a saucepan, add the spring onions and cook for 4 or 5 minutes until soft.

- Stir 2 tbsp of dark miso into the tomatoes. Drain 2 x 400 cans of butter beans, and stir them in. Cover with a lid and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes. Then roughly chop a good handful of leaves and stir into the beans along with a seasoning of black pepper.
- Toast 1 tsp of black sesame seeds and 2 tsp of golden sesame seeds in a dry shallow pan. When they smell warm and nutty, add 2 tsp of toasted sesame oil to the pan.
- Serve with rice and spoon over the beans.
