Equipment

Ingredients

▢ 250 g Borlotti beans (canned) - drained and rinsed (I use Tesco UK brand, net weight 246g)
▢ 350 g water
▢ 100 g allulose (U.S. option HERE) or you can use powdered erythritol, but some crystallisation will occur.
▢ 1.5 tsp pure stevia powder (U.S. option HERE)
▢ ¼ tsp xanthan gum (U.S. option HERE)
▢ 1 pinch fine Himalayan salt (U.S. option HERE)

Instructions

tip the rinsed beans into a blender, add 350ml water and blitz until liquid.
250 g Borlotti beans (canned), 350 g water
place a muslin cloth over a tall container or jug, and secure it with an elastic band whilst creating a well, or place the muslin over a strainer on top of your container.
pour in the bean liquid and let it sit there until most of the excess water has drained away; it can help to use a spoon to swirl and swipe the bean pulp from the bottom of the muslin cloth to allow more water to drip through.
when the dripping stops, gather the sides of the muslin cloth and lift the pulp out, then squeeze out the remaining liquid (you should obtain about 260g of dry, crumbly pulp).
transfer the bean pulp to a frying pan over medium-high heat, add salt and sweeteners and keep stirring and swiping the bottom of the pan for a couple of minutes, until the dry pulp becomes more moist.
100 g allulose, 1.5 tsp pure stevia powder, 1 pinch fine Himalayan salt
sprinkle gum over the paste and keep stirring and swiping for another minute.
¼ tsp xanthan gum
scoop the paste into a bowl and let it cool.
once cooled, make a note of the weight (you should obtain approx 350g of finished paste) and use within the next 3-4 days.

Notes

Unless you’re planning to use the paste in the next few days, weigh it and divide it into small portions to freeze for later use.

For my upcoming MOCHI recipe (4 servings), you’ll need 80g total of Red Bean Paste.
