Getting tired of roast veg with couscous or pasta? Try mashed beans for a cheap, healthy alternative
INGREDIENT :
1 red pepper, deseeded and quartered
1 aubergine, sliced lengthways
2 courgettes, sliced lengthways
2 tbsp olive oil
For the mash
410g can haricot bean, rinsed
1 garlic clove, crushed
100ml vegetable stock
1 tbsp chopped coriander
lemon wedges, to serve
RECIPE DIRECTION :
Heat the grill. Arrange the vegetables over a grill pan and brush lightly with oil. Grill until lightly browned, turn them over, brush again with oil, then grill until tender.
Meanwhile, put the beans in a small pan with the garlic and stock. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, for 10 mins. Mash roughly with a potato masher, adding a little water or more stock if the mash seems too dry. Divide the veg and mash between 2 plates, drizzle over any leftover oil and sprinkle with black pepper and coriander. Add a lemon wedge to each plate and serve.
