Directions
For the Charred Toms
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the baby plum tomatoes to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally so that all the sides of the tomatoes get some good charring.
Add the garlic slices and cook for 1 minute so that it turns golden brown without burning. Transfer everything to a bowl and sprinkle over a good pinch of salt.
For the Beans
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and add the onion. Sweat on a low heat for 5-10 minutes until softened.
Add the jar of beans with their liquid, a few tablespoons of water to loosen and heat through. Season with fresh black pepper.
For the Salsa Verde
Put all the ingredients for the salsa in a bowl and mix to a coarse salsa. Don’t be tempted to do this in a food processor: you wanna keep that rustic texture, not a refined, smooth paste!
To serve
Spoon the beans onto bowls, serve with the charred toms and salsa verde. Extra olive oil if you're feelin' saucy!
