Organic White Beans

These white haricot beans are slow-cooked with a pinch of salt. Their ultra creaminess make them the perfect base for beany broths, a protein-rich mash or as a sub for rice in your favourite risotto.

Directions

step 1
Put a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, finely chop the stalks from 4 sprigs of coriander (reserving the leaves) and add with 1 heaped tablespoon of korma curry paste and 1 level teaspoon of ground turmeric.
step 2
Fry for 1 minute, pour in 1 x 400g tin of haricot beans, juice and all, add 160g of frozen leaf spinach, bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes, or until the spinach has defrosted, stirring regularly and adding a splash of water, if needed.
step 3
Season to perfection with a splash of red wine vinegar, sea salt and black pepper. Add the coriander leaves.
step 4
Serve into bowls with a dollop of yogurt and mango chutney, if you like, and mop up with bread of choice. Or pair with rice and top with grilled halloumi or paneer for something extra hearty.

Creamy White Beans

Our Organic White Beans are slow-cooked with a pinch of salt. Their ultra creaminess make them the perfect base for beany broths, a protein-rich mash or as a sub for rice in your favourite risotto. Don’t drain, rinse or throw that “bean-stock”, CELEBRATE IT. We love them in this miso bowl or the newly invented, BEAN-OTTO.
