True - but butter beans...........

You can't say that until you have tasted them!

Ummmm - may I just say, I'm so glad you liked them.


However....Yuk! - by that, I mean, not to my taste :-D :-D

Last week, I kind of followed a recipe to make butter bean patties but, because I didn't have the tomato chutney it called for, I used some peach chutney I had made but didn't particularly like and, strangely enough, I didn't particularly like the patties either, but we ate them.

Having put the butter beans through the bug blinder, I was thinking that the texture might make a passable sausage meat substitute.

Today, I have made sausages. Tin of butter beans, some stale bread crumbs,onion, herbs I cut in the garden(sage,rosemary,thyme,parsley,chive), egg, bit of marge, couple of green Oxos, black and white pepper and a bit of nutmeg.

To my amazement, they even look like sausages when they are cooked and they taste pretty similar too. I will put more onion in next time because butter beans are a bit dry but will certainly make them again.

Now, what else can I play with?
