INGREDIENTS

200 g uncooked sorghum
olive oil, for frying
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
a handful of pitted dates, roughly chopped
1 x 400 g can butter beans in brine, drained and brine reserved
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 T lemon juice
1 cup baby spinach
handful of dill, chopped

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Soak the sorghum the day before and cook for 30 minutes, or until soft.

2. Heat the olive oil in a pan over low heat, then add the garlic and cook until soft, making sure it doesn’t burn.

3. Add the dates and cook until softened, then add the butter beans and increase the heat slightly. Move the pan around, coating the butter beans and dates with olive oil, then season and remove from the heat. If it’s slightly dry, add some brine, a spoonful at a time.

4. Add the lemon juice and allow to cool. Once cooled, roughly chop the spinach and mix all the ingredients.
