Ingredients

  • 30 oz (840g) 30oz cannellini beans , pre-cooked
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 Juice of 1 lemon
  • zest of half a lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 small bunch rosemary
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) Water or stock (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add one tablespoon of olive oil to a large pan and saute the garlic and rosemary for a few seconds, don't let the garlic brown.
  2. Add the cannellini beans with the lemon juice, zest, another tablespoon of olive oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the beans for 2-3 minutes, then start to mash them with a fork.
  3. At this point you can decide what consistency you'd like the bean mash to be. I like to mash around half of the beans for a rustic style mash. For a creamy consistency add a splash of water or stock (around 1/2cup/125ml) and mash them all with a fork until creamy.
