Made with:
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

For the beans

step 2
Add the beans to a blender or food processor with the crushed garlic, lemon juice and zest and blitz until you reach a smooth, creamy consistency. At this stage, you may want to add the reserved tablespoons of bean stock to loosen the mixture and to give it it’s creaminess - you’re going for a lovely thick hummus consistency.

For the Salsa Verde

step 4
Put all the ingredients for the salsa in a bowl and mix to a coarse salsa. Don’t be tempted to do this in a food processor: you want to keep that rustic texture, not a refined, smooth paste.

To Assemble

step 6
Toast your bread and roughly slice into crotini-sized pieces, slightly bigger than a mouthful.
step 7
Spoon roughly 2 tsp of the white bean dip onto the crostini and dollop over the salsa verde. Repeat this for all of the crostinis.
step 8
Serve as a festive canapé or appetiser for your festive spreads

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.
