This is such an easy, delicious and healthy vegetarian recipe that you can serve as a starter or an accompaniment to meat. The beans are best eaten at room temperature or cold, so allow at least half an hour for the beans to cool once cooked. Once cooked, you can store in the fridge for a good 2-3 days.
