FOR THE PESTO
FOR THE BEANS ON TOAST
Directions
For the Pesto
Roughly chop the pistachios and lightly toast in a dry pan until golden, roughly 2 minutes. Reserve a spoonful for garnish.
Add all of the pesto ingredients to a food processor with just 2tbsp of the olive oil and blitz until you reach a coarse consistency. Add the remaining olive oil and blitz until smooth. Season to taste.
For the Toasts
Meanwhile, heat 1tbsp olive oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the reserved sage leaves and fry for 30 seconds-1 minutes either side until super crispy. Set aside on a paper towel.
Add the white beans, with their bean stock, to a saucepan over medium-low heat. Pour in the pesto and fold through the beans. Slowly warm through.
Toast your bread. Spoon the beans onto the toast, top with the crispy sage leaves, pistachios for added crunch and an extra grating of parmesan, if desired. Finish with a squeeze of lemon
