choclate and cooking simple

 them into one handy e-book that you can keep on your computer, ready to inspire and answer the eternal question ‘ What’s for dinner?”. 5 ingredients
Each recipe can be made with 5 ingredients or less. There are a few that don’t use the whole 5, so don’t stress if there are only 4 or 3 ingredients. To keep it realistic, the 5 ingedients do not include salt, pepper or olive oil. Since most recipes will use all three of these, please note that they’re expected to be in your pantry.

10 minutes 

This is a guideline for how long each recipe will take to prepare to be ready to eat. But everyone cooks at different speeds, so some people may take a little longer especially the frst time cooking a particular dish.

I put out a challenge on stonesoup recently and most people were able to
make the recipes in the 10 minutes, but a few did take longer. 

You can either serve this as bruschetta with the beans dished up on toast

that has been rubbed with the cut side of a clove of garlic. Alternatively, serve the beans in the middle of the table with bread on the side so your guests can help themselves. I’ve made this with cannellini beans and butter beans and I have a slight preference for the slightly larger, frmer butter beans. Borlotti beans would

also work well as would chickpeas.

1 can butter beans (400g /14oz), drained

1-2 cloves garlic, peeled & fnely sliced

2 small sprigs rosemary, leaves picked

pinch chilli flakes, optional

Heat a small frying pan over a medium heat and add 3 tablespoons

olive oil. Add remaining ingredients and stir fry beans until they are

golden and warmed through.

Season well and serve with a drizzle of peppery extra virg
