Take one tin of mixed beans, drain and rinse. Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and gently fry a handful of chopped pancetta, add a little chopped garlic, then add a few slices of black pudding and gently cook until the pancetta is crisp.
Add the beans and heat through gently. Add a splash each of white wine and white wine vinegar. Reduce. When ready add a big handful of chopped parsley tip into a bowl and douse with more olive oil. And voila, a bowl full of beans with pancetta and black pudding. A recipe of Spanish origins of such simplicity that I wonder if it is up to the usual standards of Waiter!
I've made this several times - butter beans and haricot work well, as does adding a little chopped boiled egg or a little tomato. Good on its own but I served this with some cold, sliced turkey. Really tasty.

What a tasty feast of beans! I'm so glad that I am not the only one to keep cans of mixed beans in the larder when everyone else seems to be soaking overnight and then boiling for hours! Oh, I can taste that crisp and tender black pudding right now....super post!

Sure beats beans on toast. Beans are another of those ingredients we seem to ignore in England - so great and simple recipe!

You're killing me here - I can almost smell that porky goodness... What is it about pulses that the match soooo beautifully with cured pork & sausages? Looks absolutely delish & lovely light in your photos. WTSIM roundup is imminent!
