Did you over-do it on the Christmas roasties? (us too!). Well here's something fresh + punchy to give you that health of boost + beans we're all craving.
Ingredients
30 g fresh basil
- 70 g pine nuts, toasted
- 2 garlic cloves
- 25 g parmesan or veggie alternative, grated
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- The juice of 1 lemon
1 x 700g jar of Bold Bean Co Queen Butter Beans (or 2 x 400g tins)
100 g cooked broccoli
2 tsp chilli flakes
2 tbsp mixed seeds, such as sunflower and pumpkin
For the pesto
For the beans
Chilli Crunch
Directions
Add all of the pesto ingredients to a blender and blitz until smooth. If it’s looking a little thick, add more olive oil until you reach your desired consistency.
Add the beans to a pan with a few tablespoons of their bean stock over a medium heat. Add the pesto to the beans followed by the broccoli and stir to combine. Gently warm through for a couple of minutes.
Toast the seeds in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes until golden, toss in the chilli flakes at the last minute.
Serve the pesto beans as they are or onto toast. Top with the chilli seeds and a squeeze of lemon, if you like it zesty.
