Nicola made this delicious wild greens and beans yesterday on a glorious spring morning. She used nettles and ramsons but you could swap out the ramsons for other wild greens as the foraging season progresses. If you can’t find any ramsons, add a couple of cloves of garlic to the ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- 1 tin of butter beans
- 200g of either cherry or chopped tomatoes
- A few handfulls each of nettles and ramsons
- Zest and juice of a lemon
- Parmesan
How to make wild greens and beans
