Cooking Instructions:

1. TO PREPARE THE OREGANO BEAN PATTIES:

Place the butter beans into a sieve, rinse under cold running water and drain well. Place in a bowl with the oregano seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil and mash roughly with a fork or potato masher. Shape into balls the size of golf balls compacting well and press into patties about 1 cm thick.
2. TO PREPARE THE GREEK SALAD:

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Using half the cucumber cut into 1 cm cubes and place into a salad bowl with the tomatoes. Remove the mint leaves from their stalks and roughly chop. Add half to the salad bowl. Top and tail the green beans and cut in half. Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the beans and cook for 1-2 mins. Open the bag of steamed freekeh, squeezing gently on the bag to break up any large clumps and add to the pan. Cook for 2-3 mins, remove from the heat and allow to cool for a few mins before adding to the salad bowl. Season the Greek salad with salt and pepper, pour in the red wine vinaigrette and toss to combine.
3. TO COOK THE PATTIES:

Wipe out the pan and place back over a medium heat with 2-3 tbsps of oil. Once hot add the bean patties and cook for 2-3 mins undisturbed on each side until golden.
TO SERVE:

Spoon Greek salad and freekeh onto plates and top with oregano bean patties. Dollop with feta yoghurt and sprinkle with remaining mint.
