Ingredients

1 jar Queen Butter Beans - with their bean stock

3 tbsp olive oil

1 garlic bulb, all but one clove thinly sliced

1 white onion, finely diced

150g assorted wild mushrooms, roughly torn or sliced

1/4 cup mirin

1/4 cup rice vinegar

1/4 cup dark soy sauce

2 tbsp gochujang

200ml full fat coconut milk

1 tbsp tomato puree

3 spring onions, finely chopped

Crusty bread, to serve (optional)

Directions

1

For the glaze, combine the mirin, rice vinegar, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of gochujang and the last garlic clove grated into a bowl. Mix to combine.

2

For the beans, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over a medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook for 5 minutes until they begin to lightly brown. Add the onion and sweat down fully, adding another splash of oil if needed.

3

Add a tablespoon of the gochujang and tomato puree to the pan and stir in. Continue to cook for a few minutes until the puree darkens in colour.

4

Add the coconut milk and reduce a little before pouring in the beans with their bean stock. Turn the hob to low and simmer for 6-7 minutes until ready to serve.

5

To finish the mushrooms, fry them on a high heat with a little bit of oil until almost fully cooked, around 5-10 minutes. Spoon in the glaze slowly and reduce until a thick sticky sauce has formed.

6

To serve, spoon the gochujang beans into bowls and top with the glazed mushrooms. Finish with sliced spring onions. Serve with crusty sourdough, if you like.
