Fresh-flavoured, delicious simple dish that takes 15 minutes to prepare. Much better than your traditional store bought versions.

Borlotti beans and fresh ripe roma tomatoes are important for this recipe as they give it a wonderful texture and flavour. I love to serve this as a main dish served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Enjoy alone or accompany with poached organic eggs, spinach and mushrooms.

What’s great about them:
Borlotti beans have a low GI which keeps your blood sugar levels stable and keeps you feeling satisfied. Great as a protein meal for your muscles and immune system. They are also packed with fibre for digestive health and reducing cholesterol. Tomatoes are packed with antioxidants, including alpha-lipoid acid, lycopene, choline, folic acid, beta-carotene and lutein that are known to have anti-cancer benefits.
