Bold Bean Co

Directions

1. step 1

   Preheat the oven to 220°C.

2. step 2

   Drizzle over enough oil to coat the broccoli, season with salt + pepper and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet, so there is no overlap. Roast the broccoli in the oven for 15 - 18 minutes, until tender and slightly charred.

3. step 3

   While the broccoli is roasting, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan and when it shimmers, add the garlic and fry for a minute until fragrant. 

4. step 4

   Stir in the bay leaves and butter beans with all of their stock (or tinned beans with veg stock). Cook for 8-10 minutes, crushing the beans with the back of a wooden spoon and stirring, until they're smooth. Remove from the heat and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. 

5. step 5

   Remove the bay leaves from the beans. Spoon the creamed beans into a warm bowl, top with the crisp roasted broccoli and grate over the parmesan and lemon zest. Drizzle over some more olive oil before serving immediately.
