Ingredients

  • 100g kale or broccoli stems and leaves, finely chopped
  • 150g leftover tinned, jarred or cooked beans (butter beans, chickpeas, cannellini beans), plus any liquid
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to serve
  • ¼ lemon, zest and juice
  • 4 tsps tahini (optional)

Method

Step 1

Put the kale or broccoli stems in a pan, cover with boiling water and simmer over a medium heat for 8 mins or until tender. Drain well, then tip into a blender.

Step 2

Add the leaves, beans, oil, lemon zest and juice and tahini (if using); whizz until blended and smooth. Add a splash of bean liquid from the jar or tin, or water, if needed, to create a houmous-like consistency.

Step 3

Serve in a bowl with your choice of optional toppings, a good drizzle of olive oil, plus toasted pitta and crudités for dipping, if you like.
