Fibre-Packed Cannellini Beans With Sage & Goat’s Cheese
Looking for a quick and easy gluten-free lunch that’s packed with nutrients? This recipe is one of my all-time favourites - it’s deliciously comforting AND super healthy. Cooking the cannellini beans in garlic, a hint of organic butter, pungent herbs and goat’s cheese takes this humble bean to a whole new creamy, herby level! The best part - these beans are rich in fibre so if you’ve been naughty and skipped the fibre in your brekky or snacks, you can make up for it with this delicious, nutritious lunch.
