Mixed Beans with Pecans & Crystallised Ginger Butter
With sweet pecans and a warming ginger butter, these mixed beans will make a lovely addition to any event - especially a festive table.

 

Serves 4-6

 

Ingredients:

  • 150g unsalted butter, chopped and softened
  • 1 long red chilli, seeds removed and finely chopped
  • ⅓ cup finely chopped pecans
  • 2 tbsp chopped crystallised ginger, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp smoked sea salt flakes, plus extra to serve
  • 400g mixed beans (we used roman, sugar snap, butter and regular beans), trimmed and steamed

 

Method:

  1. Place the butter, chilli, pecans, ginger, paprika and salt in a medium bowl and mix well to combine. Spoon onto a sheet of non-stick baking paper and roll into a log, twisting the ends to close. Refrigerate until cold.
  2. Cook beans in salted boiling water for 4 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and place on a platter. While the beans are hot, slice the butter and toss in the beans. Serve sprinkled with salt.

 

Smart Tip

You can keep extra butter wrapped and refrigerated for up to two weeks.
