Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

2 cans white beans (14oz/400g)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 sprig fresh thyme
1 lemon
1/2 cup vegetable stock
salt to taste
pepper to taste
EVOO (see notes)

Instructions

Drain the beans and rinse under a tap.
Add the olive oil to a small pan, pull the leaves from the thyme sprigs and add them to the oil.
Place over a low heat and gently warm the oil.
Once the thyme starts to smell aromatic, add in the drained beans, the zest of the lemon and the vegetable stock.
Stir over a medium/low heat until the beans are warmed through.
Use your wooden spoon (or a large fork) to squash the beans into the stock until you have a rustic mash.
Check your seasoning and serve drizzled with EVOO.

Notes

Here the EVOO makes so much difference to this dish, don't miss it out and use the best you can 😀
