Bean & feta spread with Greek salad salsa & oatcakes recipe

Ingredients

  • 400g can butter beans, drained
  • 1 lemon, ½ juiced, ½ cut into 4 wedges
  • 2 tbsp ricotta or bio yogurt
  • 85g feta, crumbled
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 12 oatcakes

For the salsa

  • 4 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 medium cucumber, finely diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 12 pitted Kalamata olives, chopped
  • a few chopped mint leaves (optional)

Method

  • Tip the beans, lemon juice, ricotta, 50g feta and the garlic into a bowl and blitz with a hand blender or in a food processor to make a paste. Stir in the remaining feta and spoon the mixture into four small pots.

  • To make the salsa, stir all the ingredients together with the mint (if using) and divide into four more pots, topping with a lemon wedge. These will keep, chilled in an airtight container, for two-three days. To eat, spread the oatcakes with the bean mixture, squeeze the lemon wedges over the salads and pile generously onto the oatcakes.
