Hetty’s Tuscan Beans
400g dried borlotti beans, soaked overnight in water or 2 cans borlotti
beans rinsed under water
1 medium red onion, chopped
5 tbspns extra virgin olive oil
a few drops red wine vinegar
1 handful of kalamata olives
1 handful of chopped fresh parsley
1. If using fresh beans, rinse soaked borlotti beans under water and
cook until tender. Usually takes about 1 hour. DO NOT salt beans until
cooked
2. Place beans in bowl and mash half of them with a potato masher to
achieve a rustic look
3. Prepare the red onion by chopping finely, place in a bowl and add
water, salt and a splash of vinegar. Let this rest for 15 mins – this
will eliminate the strength of the raw onion. Then rinse under cold
water.
4. Mix the onion with the borlotti beans. Add generous amount of olive
oil, season with salt and pepper and add the vinegar.
Add parsley, olives and serve it with more olive oil.
Serve with Italian crusty bread such as bruschetta or crostini
(tastes v. good with Bourke St Bakery sourdough!!!!)

At Collage, they believe the first step toward making a change lies in recognizing that things could be different than they are. Accordingly, the Collage foundation is driven by the goal of showing today’s youth they have real choices about their role in the world, and the power to make a difference in a variety of ways. Collage provides the information, tools and support required for an engaged alterntative to apathy about today’s complex environmental and social issues. These resources show young people how to recognize the problems, learn about how role models (including celebrities, scientists, and artists) have responded, and make their own informed decisions. It’s this kind of combination that goes beyond awareness to inspire action.
Though the issues are serious, Collage aims to present them in stimulating, entertaining and even fun ways. Fostering interactivity between organizations and connections between creative minds, Collage shows that there are other concerned people out there, and brings together the best examples of just how exciting making a positive impact can be.
