The 15-Minute Mediterranean Dinner Formula

Ingredients

• 1 tin of good beans or chickpeas (the protein)
• 1 big handful of greens — spinach, chard, or rocket (the green)
• Cooked grain or good bread (the base)
• 3 tbsp good olive oil
• 1 lemon
• Garlic, chilli flakes, salt — the seasoning
• Optional: feta, a soft egg, or tinned fish to finish

Method

1. 1

   Warm the oil with sliced garlic and a pinch of chilli until fragrant — one minute, no colour.

2. 2

   Add the drained beans; let them sizzle and crisp a little, two to three minutes.

3. 3

   Stir through the greens until just wilted; squeeze in half the lemon.

4. 4

   Spoon over the grain or alongside bread. Finish with oil, the rest of the lemon, salt, and your optional extra.
