Butter Beans, Paprika & Piquillo Peppers

This recipe is simple, quick and bursting with flavour – plus, most of the ingredients will already be in your store cupboard. There are plenty of ways to serve and use them too – warm with a simple dollop of thick yoghurt on top and some crusty bread; on a bed of rice with some crispy fried eggs; or in salads (one cool). Alternatively, prepare and pour into a baking dish. Place fillets of white fish (such as hake or pollock) on top and bake in a preheated oven, at 200°C/180°C fan/400°F/gas mark 6 for 10-15 minutes.
