Our Range of Beans & Pulses

Beans and pulses are used readily in Italian-inspired soups and are a wonderful addition to summer salads, such as a Sicilian Bean Salad or Five Bean Salad. You can create Nonna’s Sicilian Bean Salad using created using chickpeas, red onions, cucumber, tomatoes, and oregano, and then dressed with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice.

Beans and pulses offer a great alternative to meat and fish, that still provides protein and fibre. Napolina’s beans and pulses are perfect for vegetarian and vegan Italian dishes, especially stews and ragus, such as a tasty red lentil vegetarian bolognese. This is created by combining onions, soffritto, red wine, milk and lentils, and tomatoes, which is then poured over some perfectly al dente spaghetti. Bellisimo!
