Butter Beans Salad **

Ingredients

• 1 cup dry large flat beans (they are called butter beans / french beans / vaal - they may be white or red and white. The red and white ones are best for this if you can get them)


• 2 tomatoes


• 1 medium onion


• sage


• oregano


• salt


• lemon juice


• olive oil (optional)

Soak the beans overnight and let them cook till they are well done, or cook in a pressure cooker for 8 - 20 whistles depending on the cooker.

When the beans are cool mix with the other ingredients and let them stand a while before serving to let the herbs blend their flavours in.

Serves 6-8.
