Step 1: You will need...

  • 800 g tinned drained canellini beans, or other white beans
  • 50 ml virgin olive oil
  • the juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 15-20 black olives
  • salt and pepper

Place the parsley, oregano, and basil on the chopping board, and using the large knife, chop them roughly.

    He says "eat immediately." How could I resist? Canned beans are so convenient, but frequently, in my experience, they are salty enough. Since they are almost the whole dish and possibly salty olives are being added, you might want to taste first to determine salt level. I love beans, so I prepare big pots of them beginning with the dry form, then freeze in meal-sized containers. Just remember not to add salt until they are finished cooking. They are always ready (especially if a microwave is handy to defrost them.) They are much cheaper than canned, and you know exactly what's in them. Choices are wonderful.
