Method

    Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the beans and cook for 3-4 mins until hot through. Lightly mash with a potato masher for a chunky texture. Stir through the pesto and season. To serve, drizzle with a little olive oil, if you like.

Make sure to use Vegetarian Pesto. Not all available are due to the hard cheese they use.

Lovely! I used butter beans and vegan pesto. Delish.

Really quick and easy, tasty too. I'm planning on experimenting with different flavours, maybe whole-grain mustard with sausages. Also wondering if it could be used as an alternative to a mash potato topping on a pie.

Try horseradish too. Great as a topping for cottage pie

This is wonderful, a great alternative to potato, and very easy to make in a short space of time from basic store cupboard ingredients.

Although it doesn't look particularly appetising, it's delicious! I made it with a home made pesto to make it truly from scratch. Yum!
