Butter bean and roast pepper salad

Method

  1. Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Put it in a bowl with the juice of half the lemon and a pinch of salt and leave it for 10 minutes to soften and lose its raw edge.
  2. Drain and rinse the butter beans. Drain the roasted peppers and slice them into strips, roughly chop the parsley and halve any large olives.
  3. Put the butter beans in a wide pan with the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of water. Warm over a low heat for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring gently, until hot through, without letting them boil or the skins will split.
  4. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the roasted peppers, the onion with its juices and the olives.
  5. Add the parsley, the rest of the lemon juice, salt and black pepper, then taste and adjust.
  6. Serve warm in shallow bowls with the juices from the pan spooned over.

Tip Stir the beans as little as you can while they warm. The less they move, the fewer skins split.
