Recipe posted by

Ingredients

  • Express Recipe
  • Gluten Free
  • Nigella Recipe
  • Vegetarian
  • 60ml olive oil, plus 2 teaspoons
  • Most of 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary, optional grated
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 3 x 410g cans white beans
  • Salt to taste

Method

Serves: 2

  1. Put the 60ml of olive oil in a saucepan, and mix in the garlic. Add the whole rosemary sprig, if using, and the lemon zest and warm through.
  2. Remove the rosemary, but do not throw away.
  3. Drain the beans and rinse under a tap to get rid of the gloop and then add to the pan and warm through, stirring and squishing with a wide, flat spoon so that the beans go into a nobbly mush. Season to taste; some beans come saltier than others.

  • Surely 3 x 400g tines would serve more than two people! Even two very hungry people.I do a similar recipe and I use 2 tins for a dip for lots of people.

  • 3 tins for 2 people seems a huge amount?

  • I made this for six and served it with slow cooked lamb shanks Provencal. I mixed Borlotti and Butter beans and used flat leaf parsley. Went down a treat! Also mixed butter & oil rather than straight oil. Careful with the salt...!
