Step 1
Drain the beans from the cans and rinse them thoroughly to remove excess aquafaba (liquid in the can).
Step 2
Place the beans in a pan on the stove top with 1/2 cup of water and allow them to simmer and soften on medium heat (5 minutes) – mix them continuously so they don’t stick to the pan as the water evaporates.
Step 3
Once the water has been absorbed, lower the heat and add the minced garlic and cook it with the beans for a few minutes with a splash of extra virgin olive oil. You can add the chilli flakes here if you wish.
Step 4
Take the beans off the heat and place into your mortar or bowl. Add the lemon juice and remaining evoo and mix through.
Step 5
Season to taste (go easy on the salt as your canned beans may already have added salt in them).
Step 6
Serve with evoo and fresh veggies and/or boiled eggs.
