Bold Bean Co

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 220 degrees and line baking tray with greaseproof paper. Place the red peppers on the tray with @maldonsalt and olive oil and roast for 15 minutes. Then add the peeled garlic to the pan and roast for a further 15 minutes till everything caramelised.

2. While the pepper cooks - make the mash. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan, add a handful of thyme springs and the crushed garlic and fry for 2 minutes till thyme springs are crispy. Remove the thyme springs and place the oil in a food processor.

3. Add the beans and a pinch of salt to the oil and whizz till smooth - season to taste.

4. Once the red peppers and garlic are cooked, place in a food processor with the balsamic, walnuts, paprika, more thyme and seasoning and blitz to a rough paste.

5. Lay the crostinis on your serving tray and top with the butter bean mash, then the muhammara and finally scatter over the crispy thyme. I like to drizzle with a little more XV olive oil just before serving!
