Calories:
Ingredients
For the white bean mash:
- 400 g tin cannellini beans, drained (240g, or ~ 1 1/4 cups, when drained)
- Small handful grated vegetarian parmesan-style cheese
- 1 small clove garlic, peeled
- Salt
- Black pepper
For the griddled vegetables:
- 1/2 tbsp oil
- 1/2 small aubergine (eggplant), sliced
- 1/2 courgette (zucchini), sliced
- 1 yellow pepper, cut into chunks
For the homemade pesto:
- 1 small clove garlic, peeled
- Large handful fresh basil
- 1 tbsp pine nuts
- Small chunk of vegetarian parmesan-style cheese
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- To make the white bean mash, add the drained cannellini beans to a food processor along with the grated parmesan, clove of garlic, and plenty of salt and pepper. Blitz thoroughly until smooth.
- Rub the vegetables lightly with oil, and place in a griddle pan (or frying pan, if you don't have a griddle pan) over a fairly high heat. Allow them to cook for several minutes before flipping each piece over, repeating with the other side. The vegetables should have dark char lines.
- To make the homemade pesto, add all of the pesto ingredients to a mini food processor, and blitz well until smooth.
- Before serving, heat the white bean mash in the microwave. Serve it topped with the griddled vegetables and drizzled with the homemade pesto.
