I’ve had a can of organic butter beans sitting in my cupboard that I had not got round to using and so today I thought I would use them for a new recipe for you all. I love the taste of mashed butter beans in place of good ole mashed potatoes, but I wanted to put together something different, that would be a finger food and I could add into the kids lunch boxes. This combination worked perfectly. Spread them with a little butter and they are like a very thin cheese scone, but best of all gluten free. Amazing!!
