Method
- Start by making the pesto. Simply peel the garlic, then put all the ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Place the beans in a frying pan with the spinach and pesto and sauté everything in a splash of olive oil for 2–3 minutes until the spinach has wilted and everything is warm.
- While they cook, squeeze the lemon for the salad over the beans and add more black pepper. Put the pesto beans and spinach into a bowl and sprinkle the pumpkin and pomegranate seeds over the top.
