What are Spanish Beans?

In Spain, you can often find versions of this bean stew on tapas menus. Large white beans (lima beans / butter beans) are cooked in a rich and smoky tomato stew that's seasoned with smoked paprika.

At the end, a large handful of fresh spinach leaves is added and wilted into the stew.

Spanish Beans are delicious hot as a stew, side dish or tapas.

They're also delicious cold as a hearty salad.

Expert Tips

I used canned white beans (butter/lima beans) for these gigantes beans but you can also used dried beans. Just soak them for 4 hours or overnight in a bowl with plenty of cold water. Then drain and rinse them before boiling for 45 minutes. Then carry on with the recipe.

You can substitute any other white beans in this bean stew that you have to hand such as Great Northern beans, though I like the large butterbeans, lima beans. They have a great potato-like texture that really makes this a hearty dish.

Be sure to get the onions nice and soft before moving on to the next step so they're soft and flavorful.

For a quick side dish, my yeast free naan bread recipe is a tasty flatbread that's perfect for mopping up the Spanish Beans' juices and only takes minutes to make.

Spanish Recipes

My husband recently returned from a trip to Almeria in Andalusia, southeastern Spain.

He was raving about the beans in tomato sauce that he had and said that they were an amazing vegan option.

I've tried to recreate them here, but this is definitely an adaptable Spanish stew dish.

If you like things spicy, then go for a hotter paprika, if you like them sweeter then use a sweet/smoky paprika.

You could even add a tiny pinch of cinnamon for another flavour dimension.

You can serve these Spanish beans as tapas alongside olives, bread and patatas bravas, perhaps with a few Spanish beers or a big jug of sangria! Try it with some Spanish Omelette.

I tend to have it simply served with fresh crusty bread to mop up those fragrant juices.

You can also serve it as Spanish Beans and Rice, by serving it on a bed of... rice.

    I made this today and when the cooking was over....I had a sneak taste......delicious!! I used canned canellini beans. However, I did not have spinach on hand, so I added diced green and red capsicum instead. I served it with fried crumbed left-over couscous balls that had mozarella cheese and diced red radish and capsicum inside. The beans with t he flavourful smoked paprika was absolutely delicious. I ate this for work lunches. Thank you...🙏🏼

    Delicious! Made it as a side dish for Stiracha seasoned steak on a SlimmingWorld SP day. I used one tin of chilli spiced chopped tomatoes, two large shallots, and a tin of mixed beans. I had a little bit of tomato purée I mixed in too, forgot about the bay leaf and used fry light instead of the olive oil. Used the whole 100g bag of baby spinach leaves. Already been asked to make it again!

    Kate, this is amazing, have been sharing with everyone. Having frozen diced onion and spinach balls, plus garlic puree in a tube (sorry to the purists) this works as a speedy, beautiful-looking, store-cupboard supper / dinner / side dish in under ten mins. Thanks so much!

    I made this almost exactly as the recipe is written but I used a 26 oz carton of finely diced tomatoes (enhanced with vegetables and herbs). I served it in a bowl with naan on the side and ate it as you would bruschetta. I also drizzled red wine vinegar over top for an extra pop. After I ate up my piece of naan I went back for two more bowls, that rarely happens. I bet it’ll be even better as leftovers. Thanks for the great recipe!

    Ooft, made this today for my church group and it was so good! I couldn't find butter beans at the store so I used regular white beans, but it was still so good!

      I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it, Deborah! White beans sound like a fantastic substitution. 🙂

    What a great dish! I love those beans -- so hearty! My hubs is watching! Me? I'm still cheering for the US NBA Finals games 🙂

    We always order these in a tapas bar, but all the ones I have tried haven't come close to what we ate in Barcelona. I am going to have to try making them myself.

      Super supper or dinner dish. Added liquid amino flavouring has its own sodium so no salt neede. Hot paprica cinnamon & had it with baked potatoes. Added a tin of chicken peas once when I only had 1 tin butter beans. Thank you for your great recipes.

    I have some dried 'giant' butter beans that I brought home with me on my last trip to Spain which I'm sure would work perfectly here, with a little adaptation to the method. It looks absolutely gorgeous and a perfect meal to eat whilst enjoying the football.
