A wonderfully refreshing bean salad, great served alongside BBQ meats. Every now and again I'll add in a chopped tomato or two. Ingredients:
3 (400 g) cans cannellini or 3 (400 g) cans butter beans |
2 garlic cloves |
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil |
1 lemon, juice of |
1/2 cup basil leaves |
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
sea salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Drain the beans and rinse under cold water, drain well.
2. Into a food processor or blender, put the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, basil leaves, parsley leaves, cumin, salt and pepper.
3. Pulse for a few seconds so that there is still texture. Put the beans into a bowl and pour over the dressing, toss well.
4. If possible leave for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before serving - but can be eaten right away and still be very flavoursome.
