Butter Bean And Mustard Mash Recipes

BUTTER BEAN AND MUSTARD MASH

Steps:

• Place the beans in a heavy pan and add the stock.
• Bring to boil and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Drain and reserve the stock.
• Mash the beans with the mustard and oil.
• Stir in the parsley.
• If the mash is too thick thin with some of the stock or more olive oil.

PORK CHOPS & MUSTARDY BUTTER BEANS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a saucepan. Add the onion and fry over a medium heat for 10 mins, or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min. Stir through the butter beans and stock and bring to a simmer. Add the spinach. Cover and cook for 3 mins or until the spinach is wilted.
• Blitz the mixture using a hand blender for 10 secs, leaving some chunky, whole beans. Stir through the crème fraîche and mustard and season generously, then simmer for 3 mins to thicken. Set aside.
• Season the pork chops on both sides. Heat the remaining oil in a non-stick pan over a medium-high heat. Hold the chops on their sides with a pair of tongs to brown the fat. Cook each one on either side for 7 mins or until cooked through. Spoon the beans onto plates, slice the pork and arrange on top.

SIZZLING SALMON WITH BEAN MASH

Steps:

• Set the grill to its highest setting. Put the salmon fillets flesh-side up and evenly spaced in a shallow flameproof dish. Finely grate the zest of the lime into a bowl, then squeeze in the juice and stir in the honey, mustard and a good sprinkling of salt. Pour the mixture over the salmon and grill, without turning, for 5-6 minutes until it's golden on top and cooked through (check the centre with a fork).
• Meanwhile, tip the beans into a saucepan and add the butter, crème fraîche, garlic and plenty of salt and pepper. Turn the heat on to moderate and coarsely mash everything together - a wooden spoon or a masher will do the job - until hot and bubbling. This only takes a few minutes as the beans are already cooked.Tip in the rocket and stir into the mash until it's hot and just wilted.
• Serve the salmon on the mash, drizzled with the cooking juices.

LEEK AND MUSTARD MASH

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut into even-sized chunks, then cook in a large saucepan of boiling water with the lid on for 20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife. Remove from the heat and drain thoroughly. Leave for 5 minutes with the lid off.
• Meanwhile, in a frying pan melt the butter and add the shredded leeks. Cook for 5-6 minutes until softened and beginning to colour. Mash the potatoes then, using a wooden spoon, beat the potatoes until smooth before adding the leeks with the milk and mustard. Season to taste.
