Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ lb (250 g) English beans (or tic beans, daffa beans, brown Dutch beans, or foul medames)
  • about ¼ pint (150 ml) olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp strong-flavoured herba (e.g. thyme, sage or rosemary), minced

Directions

  1. Soak the beans in water overnight.
  2. Boil beans in plenty of unsalted water for 1 hour until they are soft. Drain beans.
  3. Mash beans with a fork, pound them in a pestle and mortar, or press them through a sieve or food mill.
  4. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper, herbs, and garlic. If the purée is too stiff, add some lemon juice, water, or more oil.
  5. Chill and serve with toast.
