Lovely stuff.Lucyhttp://nourish-me.typepad.com/nourish_me/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22024066.post-48470717744227157532008-08-27T18:15:00.000Z2008-08-27T18:15:00.000ZButter beans did work well, but I'm sure haricot or cannellini would have been delicious too!<BR/><BR/>OK Alastair - I'll give the tinned variety the upper hand as far as quick goes ... But you can always do the writing while the beans are in the oven ...Alexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05142532489312482031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22024066.post-35640965715765986482008-08-26T23:08:00.000Z2008-08-26T23:08:00.000ZBecause they are quick, cheap and reasonably healthy. They leave me time to write....<BR/>Pinot noir generally partners well but it is essential to keep heating the beans and stirring until the sauce has dried to a sticky consistency and then serve on hot toast, buttered, with an optional slice of ham.<BR/>Oh, and they must be Heinz!Alastairhttp://www.alastairbathgate.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22024066.post-72532646155119824772008-08-26T15:09:00.000Z2008-08-26T15:09:00.000ZLove the use of butter beans, Alex. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing this hearty and flavorful recipe for MLLA2.Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14970742141705361136noreply@blogger.com
