Canned butter beans, rinsed and drained

1 400g can

Fresh flat-leaf parsley

2 tbs

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook onion, celery and capsicum, stirring occasionally, for 12–15 minutes or until very soft and golden. Add garlic and cayenne pepper and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
  2. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Gradually stir in stock. Add tomatoes, okra and thyme and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.
  3. Add seafood and beans and cook, covered, for 3–4 minutes or until seafood is just cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
