I used my food processor to make this delicious and healthy mash. Why not have this recipe instead of fattening mash that let's face, has very little nutritional value. Instead follow these easy steps for a mash that you could have everyday if you wanted to. It is full of fibre and protein as any food with beans is and the best part is that it looks just like mash but much yummier. Believe me I love potatoe mash and this bean mash is yummy.
can of cannelini beans - wash well to remove all added sugars and salts and drain. Put in your food processor. Fry some garlic lightly in olive oil. Make sure it is olive oil to avoid those trans fats. Make sure that you don't overheat (burn) the oil (don't let it smoke) as it takes the omega (good fats) out of the oil. Let it cool and add to the cannelini together with the oil.
Salt and pepper to taste. Add a little milk whilst processing so that you get the exact consistency you like. If you want to be naughty (or your making it for visitors or the like) then you can add a dolop of butter.
That's it........... how healthy is that????? Please leave comments if you've tried it . . . I would like to know if you liked it so let me know.............PLEASE...............
