Method

  1. Boil the beans for four minutes until tender, then drain them well.

  2. Crush them with a fork, or pulse briefly, with the oil, lemon, mint and salt into a rough paste that still has whole beans in it.

  3. Pile onto the rice cakes and finish with the chilli flakes.

Worth knowing

  • Smashed rather than blended, so it stays a topping instead of a dip and holds on the rice cake.
  • Peas work in place of edamame, with about half the protein.
