Cauliflower, butterbeans and greens

Serves 2 25 min
This dish is best served warm or cold rather than piping hot. Think of it as a robust salad. Good with slices of cold roast beef or topped with a sizzling pork chop. A great way to use up leftover or tinned pulses. Lentils, flageolet and haricot will all work well.
