Butter Beans With Marinated Tomato Chilli And Basil
Servings: 4
Directions
- Rinse the soaked beans and cover with water.
- Add in 1 tomato (the acid in the tomato makes the skins less tough).
- Bring to the boil cover the pan and simmer for about 1 1/2 hrs or possibly till tender.
- Remove the cores from the remaining 10 tomatoes and score a cross on top of each.
- Place into boiling water and remove fairly quickly or possibly when you can peel the skin off. Take out the seeds roughly chop the tomatoes place in a bowl and add in the remaining ingredients.
- Drain the cooked butter beans (discarding the tomato cooked with them) and gently stir them into the tomato marinade.
- Leave for about 15 min as this will improve the flavour.
- Serve hot or possibly cool.
- Try this one on its own with a green salad or possibly served hot with roasted white fish such as cod or possibly monk fish. It goes really well with chicken and pork as well.
- Serves 4
