Step 1
Soak McKenzie’s Borlotti Beans as per back of pack instructions. Drain and rinse.
Step 2
Place soaked beans in a pot, cover with fresh water and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 35 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside. Lightly mash around one-third of the beans, keeping some texture.
Step 3
Add olive oil, garlic and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Fold through chopped parsley.
Step 4
Add a splash of water if needed to loosen and create a creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Store the base in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- For a smoother texture, mash more of the beans depending on the dish.
- Add chilli flakes or extra herbs for variation.
