LET’S MAKE IT
Step by simple step.
- 01
Place the drained beans, olive oil, lemon juice, grated garlic, and pepper in a bowl.
- 02
Mash roughly with a fork, adding a tablespoon or two of water for a softer texture. Taste and add salt if needed.
- 03
Toast the bread until crisp. Spread each slice with the bean mixture.
- 04
Top with the tomatoes and serve. If you prefer a warm topping, heat the mashed beans gently in a small pan before spreading.
A little kitchen wisdom
Mash only half the beans for a mixture with more texture.
Use what you have
Use chickpeas instead of white beans, or spoon the mixture into a sandwich.
Keep the good food going.
