Ingredients

  • 200g black beans
  • 160g new potatoes
  • 80g asparagus
  • 80g green beans
  • 25g pesto
  • 10g parmesan
  • 3g garlic
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the asparagus and green beans, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Boil the new potatoes in salted water for 15-18 minutes until a knife slides in easily, then halve.

  3. 3

    Warm the black beans in a pan with a splash of water and the seasoning, lightly crushing a few to thicken.

  4. 4

    Stir the pesto through the hot carbs with a splash of cooking water so it turns glossy, then top with grated parmesan.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the asparagus and green beans for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: new potatoes first, then the veg and black bean, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.
