Ingredients
-
800 g canned butter beans, drained and rinsed
-
4 egg yolks
-
60 g Pecorino Romano, finely grated
- 120 g cooked and drained guanciale
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
-
Extra virgin olive oil (200 kcal worth, approximately 24 ml / 4 small tbsp)
- Drain, rinse and thoroughly dry the butter beans.
- For a little extra texture, roast them in the air fryer at 190°C for 8–10 minutes.
- Cook the guanciale in a pan until golden and crispy. Drain the excess fat.
- Mix the egg yolk with Pecorino Romano and plenty of black pepper.
- Add the warm butter beans to the guanciale.
- Remove the pan from the heat, allow it to cool slightly, then stir in the egg and cheese mixture. Add a little warm water if needed to create a silky sauce.
- Finish with your extra virgin olive oil and a little more black pepper.
Nutrition
Small changes, like the olive oil here instead of the pork fat or the beans instead of pasta, can go a long way. we should not deminze recipes, foods or ingredients but rather think what can we add to make them nutritious and satious.
