1 bunch asparagus (if not in season, use green beans or courgettes)
1 handful of wild garlic leaves, washed and chopped (if off-season, add 1 clove of garlic, finely sliced instead)

Made with:
Butter Beans

These are the most ridiculously creamy, big, juicy butter beans you will find on this planet. We see them as the "creme de la creme" of the bean world. Try them tossed through a puttanesca sauce or with a fresh basil pesto - they're packed full of natural protein so great for flexitarians.

Directions

step 1
Start by frying your onion in a little olive oil for 5-6 minutes on a medium heat. (if you don't have wild garlic, add your sliced garlic here).
step 2
Add the entire jar of beans with all of their liquid, then fill the jar with water and add this to the pan too (this is like recycling stock!)
step 3
Once boiling, add your green veggies and wild garlic and a parmesan, followed by the lemon zest and juice. Stir to combine and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Season to taste.
step 4
Serve with a drizzle of good quality olive oil and dollops of pesto.
