For an easy Mediterranean-style dinner, make these Marinated Butter Beans! The recipe comes together quickly, thanks to pantry staples, though if you have time, allow the beans to sit and marinate for 30 minutes before serving. The creamy butter beans do a surprisingly good job at soaking up all the bright flavors of the spicy and aromatic marinade. So, feel free to make it ahead.
To start, combine the beans, onion, olives, red pepper, artichoke hearts, lemon zest, salt, and chopped herbs in a large salad bowl. Set aside. In a saucepan, combine lemon juice with olive oil, honey, garlic, red pepper flakes, cumin, and cayenne pepper over medium-high heat. Once the marinade begins to foam and bubble, remove it from the heat. Stir well and immediately pour the hot marinade over the beans and veggies. Toss until well coated. Let the beans sit for at least ten minutes, then serve on toasted bread. Enjoy!

In a saucepan, combine ¼ cup lemon juice, ¼ cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, ¼ teaspoon cumin, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally. Once the marinade begins to foam and bubble, remove it from the heat.
