Vegan Lard with Beans Recipe - Ingredients:
- 28 oz canned white beans (weight including brine),
- 2 medium onions,
- 1 small, slightly sour apple,
- 1 tablespoon dried marjoram,
- Half a teaspoon of sweet paprika,
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil,
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegan Lard with Beans Recipe - How to prepare:
- Heat oil in a pan. Cut the onions, add them to the hot pan, and fry on low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. They should soften and gain a golden hue.
- Grate the apple using a fine grater. Drain and rinse the beans, then move them to a bowl. Add salt and pepper before blending until smooth. Include onion, marjoram, paprika, and the grated apple. Mix and refrigerate to allow the flavours to meld.
And voila, it's ready! We recommend leaving it in the fridge for at least 4 hours for the flavors to develop. When you're ready to eat it, grab a knife and spread it on a slice of crusty bread. For TV nights, crackers or rice cakes make the perfect accompaniment. Complement the dish with pickles and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds.
