Ingredients

• 400g drained butter beans (I prefer the jars)
• 1 garlic clove or 2 cloves confit garlic
• a good pinch of salt
• 1/2 tsp Aleppo pepper (optional)
• juice of half a lemon (or more to taste)
• 2-3 tbsp olive oil (deepening on your beans – this helps the creaminess)
• 750g (approx 3 medium) mixed courgettes
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves (use confit garlic if you have any to hand)
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp Aleppo pepper or 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
• zest & juice of half a lemon
• 2 tbsp mixed chopped basil & mint (parsley and tarragon are also great)
