Warm mushroom and butter bean salad

Method

  1. Wipe the mushrooms and slice them thickly. Crush the garlic. Drain and rinse the butter beans. Chop the parsley.
  2. Toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan for 2 minutes, then tip them out.
  3. In the same pan, heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil over a high heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer with a pinch of salt and cook, without stirring too often, for 7 to 8 minutes, until deep golden.
  4. Add the garlic and thyme for 1 minute, then the butter beans, and cook for 3 minutes until warmed through.
  5. Take the pan off the heat and add the balsamic vinegar, the juice of the lemon half and the rest of the oil, stirring to coat.
  6. Put the spinach on two plates and spoon the warm mushrooms and beans over (the heat will wilt the leaves a little). Scatter with the parsley and pine nuts.

Tip Do not stir the mushrooms too much early on, as they need contact with the pan to brown. Add the dressing off the heat.
