Butter Bean Crumble

Butter Bean Crumble

A quick, light-ish lunch for 1 or a side dish for two. 

  • 1 can butter beans (about 400g predrained or so)
  • 2 pieces of brown toast, in crumbs
  • 1/2 200g pack of flavoured Philly
  1. Rinse the butter beans and put in a pan of simmering water to cook for a few minutes
  2. Toast the bread then process it into crumbs
  3. When the beans have simmered for around 4 minutes, take off heat and drain
  4. Mash approx 1/3 of the butter beans with a fork.  Mix this with the philly
  5. Combine the mashed beans with the whole beans gently, then place in a shallow heat proof dish
  6. Top with the toast crumbs, then put under a hot grill to flash grill a bit more, till it browns to taste.
Feel free to play with the recipe, it's a gentle flavour. I have added a sprinkling of paprika when combining which works well.
