Method

step 1
Drain and rinse the butter beans and place in a mixing bowl. Chop the tomatoes and add to the beans. Place the chilli, basil (reserving a few small leaves) garlic, olive oil and vinegar in the small bowl of a food processor then whizz until smooth. Add to the tomatoes and beans, season and mix. Serve scattered with a few small leaves.

RECIPE TIPS

KNOW HOW

To peel tomatoes easily, make a small cross in the base and tip them into a bowl. Pour hot water from a kettle over them and leave for 10 secs. Remove, then when cool enough to handle, slip off the skins.

This has become my staple lunch! Now that I'm having it regularly, I just use unpeeled tomatoes which make no difference to me. I've also mixed up the beans, adzuki beans are a great option as are cannellini beans. Just be aware that the calories cannot be correct as 1 tbp of of olive oil = 100cal…
