Borlotti Bean & Parsley Base

Serves 4
Prep 10 mins
Cook 35 mins

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.
