3 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
a large handful of fresh sage, stalks removed
juice of one lemon
sea salt
pepper

Method
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and sage, and cook while stirring, until browned and slightly crispy. Add the butter beans, and continue to cook for a minute or so. Add the lemon juice, and a good pinch of salt and pepper, and continue to cook for a further 2-3 minutes, just to let all the flavors sink in to each other. Remove from the heat and serve immediately. Add a little more seasoning, and an extra drizzle of olive oil if you would like.
