Marinated Butter Beans

As soon as the sun comes out, THIS is the dish we're making. No cook. No faff. BIG on flavour. The flavours resemble a deconstructed pesto - which you can leave it to do it's thing for as long or as little as you like.
Ideal with crusty bread as a summer appetiser or light lunch.

1 jar of Queen butter beans, drained

100ml olive oil

10g fresh parsley, finely chopped

45g toasted pine nuts

Directions

1

Add the olive oil, vinegar, herbs, lemon zest + juice, garlic, olives, parmesan, pine nuts, chilli flakes and a pinch of salt and cracked black pepper to a mixing bowl or shallow dish and mix well to combine. Tip in the beans and toss well to coat - they’ll soak up all that goodness.
