Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic, shallots and lemon slices. Cook slowly until the shallots soften and the lemon begins to caramelise.

Stir in the cannellini beans and allow them to warm through.
Add water to create a light broth and simmer for about 5 minutes until flavours combine.
Squeeze in fresh lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
