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
To start, fry off your fennel, onion and garlic in a heavy bottomed pan with plenty of good quality olive oil.
step 2
Next, add in your beans with their bean stock (or tins with veg stock) saffron and smoked paprika. Bring that to a simmer and reduce down by half, roughly 3-4 minutes.
step 3
At this point, add in the cod and place a lid on your pot for 8 minutes, or until your cod is fully cooked.
step 4
Add your parsley, chives & a big pinch of salt, gently stir this around the pot, as the cod will be very delicate.
step 5
Plate up with a bit of aioli ( optional) and a good amount of olive oil.
