Ingredients

  • 150 g Potatoes, raw
  • 40 g Cannellini beans, dried
  • 12 g Sunflower oil
  • 3 g Garlic, raw
  • 0.5 g Cumin
  • 1 g Salt
  • 0.2 g Black pepper

Method

  1. Soak the dried beans in plenty of cold water overnight.
  2. Drain and boil the beans in fresh water for about 1-1.5 hours until very soft.
  3. Meanwhile, peel and boil the potatoes in a separate pot until tender.
  4. Drain both, keeping a little of the cooking liquid, and mash the potatoes and beans together to a soft, slightly rough mash, loosening with a splash of the reserved liquid.
  5. Fry the chopped garlic gently in the oil with the cumin until fragrant, then stir most of it through the mash; season with the salt and pepper.
  6. Spoon into a bowl and drizzle the remaining garlic oil on top; serve warm, traditionally alongside grilled sausage (klobasa).
