I love this butter bean recipe and others of its kind because it’s simple, quick, and bursting with flavor. You may be under the impression that we chefs either subsist on takeaway (when we aren’t working) or make elaborate and creative masterpieces at home every night of the week. Nothing could be less true. We are mere mortals, just like you, and we want to have as much flavor as we can in as little time as possible. This recipe is just that, especially since most of the ingredients will be in your pantry.
These beans are great in salads. Let the mix cool and then toss through a selection of salad leaves and herbs. Perk up the leaves with a little olive oil and vinegar and some crispy lavash on top.
