Spanish giant butter beans

Description

Judion de la Granja long white beans – also known as garrofo or garrofón – are widely accepted as the best butter beans around. Rinse the beans and toss with olive oil and lemon juice, then serve with halved cherry tomatoes and rocket for a simple summer salad.

The rich beans also make a great Spanish-inspired soup with saffron, shallots and garlic. Or even add to slow-cooked stews to warm through just before serving.
