Place the black beans in a serving bowl and toss with the salt. Leave to stand. 2. Third-fill a saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Add the mangetout and cook for 2 minutes, until tender but crisp. (If using fine green beans, cook for 3 minutes.) Drain then rinse under running water until cold. Drain again. 3. Tip the mangetout or green beans into the bowl with the black beans and add the avocado, spring onions, chilli and coriander. 4.

Remove from the heat and tip into a small bowl so they don’t continue to brown.
