This is a great recipe to make at the beginning of the week and use as a sandwich spread for your lunch. It’s low fat and high in protein, so an ideal alternative to the usual fatty sandwich spreads. You can leave the garlic out if you like, or change the herbs to suit your taste.

• 1 can of butter beans, drained
• 1 lemon, juice and rinded
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 2 tbsp fresh mint finely chopped
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp water (approx)
• salt and black pepper, to taste
• fresh mint to garnish

1. Place the butter beans and lemon juice in a food processor and blend.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients, adjusting the amount of water to give a smooth pate.
3. Season and add the mint to garnish. Spread in toasted wholemeal pita bread (they have 6g protein each!), or it’s also delicious with salad or mezes.
