Use for butterbeans?

livalot

The other butter bean recipe that I will be trying later this week is the following for pate. It also means I get to use the tin of sardines that has been lurking in my cupboards along with the bag of of butter beans that I have already done something with :rotfl:

1 small tin butter beans
1 tin sardines
Squeeze of lemon juice.

Wizz it up in a blender and serve with warm toast

In theory this should work with any combo of white beans and tinned fish.....mmmmmmh

Ive never had chorizo, im planning on trying very soon though!

Thick slices of chorizo are good in a chicken casserole too.

You can make a dip with butter beans/garlic/creme fraiche or lemon juice or olive oil etc . Just blend together and use whatever you have.

Ah, I do something very similar. I put bacon in with the onion and garlic. I also make this with haricot beans I cook myself. It goes really creamy as the beans melt. Big favourite in our house.:D

I make a sort of veggie falafel:
whiz butterbeans, chickpeas, carrot and onion in the processor with garlic, cumin, chilli etc then bind it with an egg and chill it. I bake it for about 40 minutes in a hot oven in a dish, but you can make bitesized balls and then it cooks faster.

Here's one I made the other night.....

Mash butterbeans, add a couple of teaspoons of pesto and fill a pepper cut in half. Top with parmesan and bake in oven for about 20 mins. A 400g tin makes enough for 2 peppers.

I found this recipe for butterbean hummus the other day- looks good!

I love butterbeans - I often make a simple butterbean mash which is just sweated onions and cooked butterbeans swizzed up in the blender with a bit of salt and pepper. It's a really nice alternative to mashed potatoes and very tasty.

Tried the mushroom stroganoff tonight, indredibly easy to cook and very tasty. I used some beef in it, 12oz mushrooms is loads and I 8oz works out as roughly half a tin of butter beans but didnt look like much so added the whole tin to make it go further.

Think next time I will add some more seasoning and herbs and maybe some garlic too, I used skimmed milk and fat free natural yoghurt and think it drained the flavour a bit.

Great recipe though and will be added to the collection, thanks nell!!

Glad you liked it Boo! I tend to do like you suggest and just chuck in whatever I've got in the cupboard! I admit to using my full fat Easiyo (Greek!) yoghurt which probably does add a certain amount of richness!

I've just bought some in an aid to try new things and realise I have no idea what to do with them? Has anyone any recipes? I seem to remember my grandma making carrot and butterbean soup but its the only time I've ever seen them used.
