I need a lamb and butter bean recipe

soba

I've got lamb and dried butter beans. I could have sworn I've seen a recipe for lamb and butter bean bake, but can't find it anywhere. Has anyone got a recipe or any other suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi soba,

Is it this one posted by champys on the butterbean thread?

I make a pork and butterbean casserole that would work nicely with lamb too... sweat off onions, carrots and celery in a pan with some garlic then take them out, brown your lamb on all sides in the pan with some rosemary, then add tin of toms and your cooked butter beans, stock to cover and simmer gently until liquid is reduced. I've also chucked in anything, diced potato, butternut squash, whatever you like. some nice seasonings, and Fanny is your Mother's sister.

Lamb and butterbeans simply go very well together...... bon appetit!

You could substitute butter beans for the cannelini beans in this Delia recipe?

Thanks to sallyrsm and eveyone else who took the time to reply. I follwed the recipe above and we've just had it for tea. It was delicious and I expect the leftovers will be even nicer for tomorrow's tea. Slighty OT but DS has banged his head at school this afternoon so when he came in I gave him a freezer bag full of frozen peas to put on it. Half an hour later and the peas had defrosted, so I added them to the casserole while it was reheating. How do you think Gordon Brown would react to that one for not wasting food??!!
