Ingredients

  • 500 g ripe Yellow Jelly tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 can butter beans, 540 ml, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp capers, chopped
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Method

  1. Whisk oil, lemon, capers and salt in a serving bowl.
  2. Add drained beans and tomatoes; fold gently to keep the beans whole.
  3. Rest 10 minutes, add parsley and spoon onto plates with the accumulated dressing.

Storage

Cool cooked food promptly in shallow containers and refrigerate within 2 hours at 4°C or colder. Use within 2–3 days, or freeze promptly where texture allows. Refrigerate raw prepared salads and dairy sauces promptly; dress salads just before serving. Reheat cooked leftovers to 74°C.

Grow the main ingredient

Start with the named variety in the Casa Verde seed shop. Growing time, harvest size and flavour depend on your conditions; this recipe uses the harvested crop.

Other harvests to try

Choose similar tenderness and prepared weight; adjust cooking to the cut size. Colour and flavour will change. For peppers, check heat first: hotter varieties are not a gram-for-gram swap.
