Ingredients
- 2 x 400g tins of butter beans , drained and rinsed
- 1 lemon , juiced and zested
- olive oil
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- 1 garlic clove , crushed
- a small handful of coriander , roughly chopped
- melba toast triangles, to serve
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a pan, then gently cook the shallot and garlic for 5 mins until softened. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the butter beans, then mash together until roughly puréed. Stir in the soured cream, parsley and seasoning. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, place the slices of bread under a medium grill and gently toast on both sides until light golden.

Serve with the butter bean pâté and a sprig of parsley.
