Butter beans with courgette

The recipe of these butter beans with courgette is really easy and quick. It’s perfect on a piece of toast for a vegan lunch or you can serve as a side dish with grilled/fried meat & fish. I used dill which would complement salmon or mackerel but mint, parsley, chives, coriander, oregano would work with this dish too.
