Butter Bean Crush with Olive Oil Veg HT ACC 100mins plus soaking
Serves 4-6 Hot Vegetarian Vegan Pulses Accompaniment Gluten Wheat Dairy Free Eggless
Ingredients 225g/8oz Dried Butter Beans Salt 240ml/8fl.oz. Extra-virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
1. Soak the beans for 8 hours or overnight then rinse well and strain.
2. Using a sharp knife, remove their skins and the black "eye."
3. Place the beans in a large saucepan with enough water to cover by about 5cm/2-inches. Do not add salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, partially cover and simmer until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the beans are falling apart, about 1-1/2 hours but keep an eye on them and add a little more water if necessary.
4. Remove from the heat and crush with a wooden spoon or potato masher, ensuring the mixture is still chunky and not too smooth.
5. Season with salt and black pepper then add the olive oil, mix well and serve immediately as an accompaniment to meats, fish or poultry. You can add more olive oil if you prefer a softer texture.
