Soft, Fresh-Tasting Beans in Olive Oil
Tender pocha beans stewed Navarra style with tomato, green pepper, onion, garlic and olive oil.
A gentle vegetable-led dish with a natural flavour, soft texture and very low salt content, suited to tapas, starters, sides and warm menus.
Pocha beans (50%), tomato, green pepper, onion, garlic, water, olive oil, salt and antioxidants (ascorbic acid and E-385). Contains SULPHITES.
Pocha beans are tender white beans traditionally harvested and shelled before they fully dry.
Their delicate character is preserved in this Navarra-style recipe with tomato, green pepper, onion, garlic and olive oil.
Careful preparation gives the beans a tender interior and fine skin that is barely noticeable.
The vegetables complement the beans without covering their clean, natural flavour.
The recipe contains no meat and relies on vegetables and olive oil for its rounded taste.
It offers a lighter alternative to richer bean stews while retaining the comforting character of a traditional cooked dish.
Heat gently and serve as a starter, warm tapa or substantial vegetable side dish.
The beans can also accompany grilled fish, roast chicken, vegetables or rice.
Finish with roasted peppers, sautéed mushrooms, spinach or fresh herbs for a vegetable presentation.
For a maritime variation, combine with cod, clams, prawns or grilled octopus.
