Cut the carrots into small dice, peeling them if you wish, then leave them to cook over a moderate heat with the olive oil in a deep pan. Peel, finely slice and add the onion, and cook for a good 15 minutes till the onion is deep gold and the carrots lightly browned. There is an exception to that rule, though, and that’s Navarrico Judion beans. Also known as posh butter beans. Enjoy the beans as a lavish side dish, or on their own with some crusty bread and perhaps a crisp green salad. On the SideThe related species considered most useful for interbreeding with P. coccineus to increase its genetic diversity are P. dumosus and P. vulgaris. [23] If you cook dried butter beans from scratch you need to do so with care, as they are prone to fall apart. I get round this by bringing the beans slowly up to the boil, skimming off any froth, then simmering at only a moderate pace. If you salt them only towards the end of cooking, they won't toughen the way beans cooked in salted water can. But most times I buy the parchment-coloured bean in jars, ready cooked. It is an expensive way buy them, though the price of gas to cook them from dried shouldn't be overlooked. The real pleasure in these beans is their creamy quality. Eating them creamed with butter or olive oil makes them second only to mashed potato as an accompaniment to flash-fried liver or ham.

I also suggest in the book that it’s really not that much of a hassle to soak beans and pulses overnight (or during the day) and cook them from scratch; and that they taste much better like this, so of course we should do that.

I use the bottled Judion beans available from Spanish grocers and some delicatessen for this, but canned butter beans are easier to find, and work perfectly, too.

Just needs crusty bread to go with it, maybe a crisp green salad. Or, again, it’d be an excellent side dish for some white or oily pink fish.Place a medium-sized saucepan over a low-medium heat. Add the light olive oil, fennel, chopped parsley stalks and a pinch of salt. Gently sweat and soften the fennel for 4-5 minutes, then add the garlic slices and cook for 1 minute more. Turn the heat up and after 10 seconds pour in the manzanilla. Allow the alcohol to reduce for 20-30 seconds before pouring in the beans and the flavoursome water from their jar.
