Ingredients

For the Beans

  • 800 g cannellini beans 2 cans
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 100 ml vegetable stock
  • 30 ml olive oil
  • salt to taste

Mint oil

  • 1/2 cup mint
  • 60 ml olive oil
  • juice of half a lemon
  • salt to taste

Instructions

Mint oil

  • In a food processor, blitz the mint leaves until they are nicely chopped. Add the olive oil and pulse until they are both emulsified together. Once ready, transfer to a bowl and season with the lemon juice and salt to taste. Set aside.



Beans

  • In a large pan heat the olive oil and gently cook the garlic for about 2 minutes.


  • Add the beans together with the stock and let them soften up for a few minutes. Break about 1/3 of the beans with a fork and mix. Continue to cook until the beans are soft and there is a creamy sauce.


  • Once ready, place the beans on a plate and generously drizzle with the mint oil.


  • Serve immediately warm or cold. Enjoy!
