Directions

Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil, add the beans and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, until they are cooked but not mushy.

Drain well and transfer to a large bowl.

Separately, heat two tablespoons of oil in a small frying pan and add the seeds.

Cook on medium heat, stirring often, until they start to pop – about three minutes – then pour the seeds along with the oil over the beans.

Add the vinegar, garlic, chilli and half a teaspoon of salt.

While the beans are cooking, lay the carrots in a sauté pan large enough for them to form a shallow layer on the bottom.

Pour about 150ml water over the carrots – enough to just cover the vegetables– plus two tablespoons of oil and half a teaspoon each of xylitol and salt.

Bring to a boil and keep on a high heat for eight minutes, by which time the water should have evaporated and the carrots become slightly caramelised but still crunchy.

Drain some liquid, if needed.

Add the carrots to the bean bowl, along with the coriander, and stir gently.

Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with lemon zest and feta and drizzle with olive oil.
