Gluten Free Butter Bean Pate

Parve, Vegan, Dairy Free
Enough for 4

Most of us associate Butter Beans with Chicken Soup but this Humous like dip has a kick from the garlic and a slight sweetness from the pepper. You can omit the oil if you wish and use more water. I like to add even more parsley which is packed with vitamin C. You can see a different way of using the same ingredients under vegetables

420g (14oz) Tin of Butter Beans
1 medium Red Pepper
10 stems Fresh Parsley (approx)
2-3 cloves of garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp water
Seasoning

Cut the pepper in half and remove the seeds, microwave for 4 minutes on high. Set aside and allow to cool.

Drain the butter beans and rinse under cold water. Place the beans in a food processor.

Peel the garlic (use amount you prefer to taste) add to the beans.

Remove the skin from the pepper and add this and the parsley to the food processor together with oil, water and seasoning. Pulse together.

Serve with crackers.
