Creamy Tahini White Beans

This rich and creamy dish is packed full of nutrition and delivers a luxurious eating experience without the heaviness and saturated fat of double cre...am.

Beautiful with white beans but butter beans, chickpeas and cannellini would work just as well. You can serve this with sourdough and it would pair wonderfully with poached or panfried fish.
