Tuna and Borlotti Beans

This is a simple, super speedy supper recipe for 3 to 4 people. Borlotti beans are creamy, they love lemon and parsley and are a great vegetable source of protein.

This recipe is adapted from www.nigella.com

Ingredients.

4. 2 tins of tuna drained.

5. 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (30ml)
