Butter Bean Salad with Torn Green Olives, Almonds + Chilli

This is an exclusive recipe from Joe Woodhouse's third cookbook 'Weeknight Vegetarian'.

Joe is a chef, food writer + photographer, and a huge champion of generous vegetarian cooking that doesn't sacrifice on flavour.


"For impromptu guests, or just as a general midweek life-saver, this is near-endlessly versatile. Serve over a bed of lemon couscous for a more complete meal, or as a side dish, as a starter to keep hungry appetites at bay or piled on to thick-cut toast. All ways, it’s a winner.

I love this, too, for side-hustling as a storecupboard dip, if you blend the butter beans instead of serving them whole. Use some of the bean liquid from the jar; all of it will be too much, so just add judiciously until it all starts moving in the blender" - Joe

1

Spread the butter beans out on a serving plate. Remove the stones from the olives and tear the olives randomly. Add on top of the beans.

2

Heat the oil in a small pan, tip in the almonds and toast until golden; 2–3 minutes. When done, turn off the heat and add the cumin seeds and chilli flakes, turning them around in the pan to cook in the residual heat. Spoon the almond mixture over the olives and butter beans and add a sprinkle of sea salt flakes and the mint leaves. Serve with the vinegar sprinkled over, to taste.

Great as it is, for piled onto lemony cous cous or toast for a more complete meal.
