Since i have been back in nz i have had the chance to go through my old cuisine magazines. there are some fantastic recipes in them, this is based on one by julie biuso. great with bread and cheeses/meats.

Steps


Remove beans from pods.
Put into pot of boiling water , return to the boil & cook until tender.
Drain & run under cold water.
Remove the skins.
Put the beans , lemon juice & salt to taste in a blender / food processor.
Pulse until smooth , then add the olive oil , mint & pepper.
Pulse again , then put into a serving bowl.
If it seems too stiff add a bit more oil.
Cover and refrigerate until used.
