White bean and apple paste
I have always adored mashed beans served on homemade bread, usually, it is simply made with herbs and spices or onion and garlic. I decided I wanted to explore a new flavour combination and see what I could create. The result was mouthwatering! This combination of sweet, sour, bitter, salty and spicy will make your taste buds sing!
