Green Cannellini and Tahini from the Test Kitchen by Yottam Ottolenghi

1 round white or brown pita roughly torn into 2-3cm pieces

1 tbsp za’tar 75ml of olive oil

3 tins of cannellini beans – drained

30 g of parsley roughly chopped

30g of fresh coriander, roughly chopped

30g chives, roughly chopped

1 and a ¼ tsp cumin seeds, toasted and roughly crushed with a pestle and mortar

1 garlic clove, crushed

2 and ½ tbsp lemon juice

Salt and black pepper

Tahini Sauce

80g tahini

1 and ½ tbsp lemon juice

1 garlic clove, crushed

Chilli Oil

2 and a ½ tbsp olive oil

½ tsp chilli flakes

½ tsp paprika

1. Preheat the oven to 180 C fan forced. Toss the pita with the za’tar, 2 tablespoons of oil, ¼ teaspoon of salt and a good grind of pepper and spread on a medium, parchment lined baking tray. Bake for 12 minutes tossing halfway, or until golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.

2. Set aside 100g of the beans in a medium bowl. Put the remaining beans, 600ml of water and 1 teaspoon of salt into a medium saucepan on a medium high heat. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes, or until beans are nicely softened and warmed through. Keep warm on a low heat until ready to serve.

3. Make the tahini sauce by whisking together all of the ingredients with 70ml of water and ¼ teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl, until smooth and pourable. It will thicken as it sits.

4. Make the chilli oil by putting the oil and chilli flakes into a small frying pan and placing on a medium heat. Cook for 4 minutes then add the paprika and remove the pan from the heat. Set aside.

5. Put he reserved 100g of beans into a food processor along with the herbs, cumin, garlic, lemon juice, the remaining tablespoons of oil, ½ teaspoon of salt and a good grind of pepper. Blitz until smooth, then transfer to a large mixing bowl.

6. Drain the warm beans in a sieve, set over a bowl, then add them and 100ml of their cooking liquid to the herb mixture, mixing well to combine. You want the beans to be well coated and for the mixture to be saucy
