White Bean, Parsley & Garlic Mash

Submitted by Sarah_Jayne

"I'm always on the look out for new things to do with beans. This is something that looks good to me for sure. I think it would be nice served with a white fish or maybe pork. I found this recipe in the March 2008 copy of BBC Good Food Magazine. The recipe says that it can be frozen."

This is an easy and tasty alternative to mashed potatoes. It was a little bland for our tastes and so we added more seasonings. But all in all, this was a good side to veggie burgers. Thanks for posting! Made for the Nov. 08 veggie swap.
