the New Found Onion Recipe

Simple dish for a quick Monday night dinner - it's fresh and light and made with my new love for shallots!

Ingredients:
6 - 8 shallots smashed
3 garlic cloves halved & smashed
2 big bunches of broccoli
400g of chickpeas
400g of butter beans
a really good handful of runner beans
a splash of dry white wine
oregano, salt & pepper 

Golden the garlic and shallots in a medium hot pot 'til you can smell the sweetness of the shallots. Then add the broccoli - lower heat and cover to sweat. Add the chickpeas and butter beans - cook for a bit longer and lastly throw in the runner beans with that wine. Cover for about 5 more minutes to absorb flavours and finish by stirring in the oregano, salt and pepper.

Nice with a slice of rye bread.
