Garlic butter beans.

Serves 2

Free on green


100g cous cous
1 teaspoon lazy garlic
2 400g cans butter beans, drained and rinsed
juice of 1 lemon
small red onion, thinly sliced
2 medium tomatoes chopped
1 tbspn each fresh parsley and coriander



Prep the cous cous by pouring over 100g boiling water, stirring and covering with a tea towel.

Put the butterbeans and garlic in a pan and heat through gently for about 5 minutes, you may need to add a little water to prevent them from sticking.

Add the lemon juice to the butterbeans, stir to coat.

Fluff the couscous with a fork and tip the beans.

Mix thoroughly, then add all the other ingredients.

Season well

This is delicious warm or cold and is a great accompaniment to grilled chicken.

Mix some tinned chopped tomatoes and chopped herbs with the butter beans, or even mix with a small tin of baked beans with a bit of curry powder. X
