Easy spicy bean pate
45 min
This is yummy with crackers, toast or as a baked potato filler. It uses store bought cupboard staples and my family loves it.

- Soften the onion in the oil for 4 to 5 minutes.
- In a bowl mix the onions with the peanut butter, lemon juice, chilli flakes and garlic and stir.
- Add the drained butter beans and use a fork to mash everything together. You could whizz with a hand wand blender but keep it a little chunky.
- Put into a dish, cover with cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
Tip
If I have fresh parsley or chervil I chop this and add it with the chilli flakes but don't use dried herbs. If I have them, I garnish with mini gherkins or halved, stuffed olives.
