Meanwhile, add the spinach, garlic, ginger, miso, tahini, the juice of 1 lime and 50-100ml/2-3½fl oz water to a high speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Taste the sauce and add more lime juice, agave syrup (if using) and a little salt if it needs it. Set aside.

Add the broccoli to the tray of tofu and toss with the remaining oil and more salt and pepper. Return to the oven for 10 minutes.

Add the butter beans and spinach sauce to a small saucepan over a low heat. Cook for a few minutes, stirring often - you want to warm the beans through without losing the vibrant green of the sauce.

Divide the beans between two bowls and top with the tofu and broccoli. Drizzle with the chilli oil and sprinkle with the seeds, if using.
