Tomato + Mascarpone Beans on Toast

BEANS ON TOAST. A British classic. But these tomato + mascarpone QUEEN BUTTER BEANS are creamier + TASTIER than the bog standard, baked kind you get in a tin, PLUS they only take 10 minutes to make.

Check out our recipe reel here.

This is a recipe for one but go ahead and double or triple the ingredients if you're serving for more or simply serve the beans as they are with a side of steamed greens or fresh rocket. It's even nice with a little parmesan too.

Directions

1

Heat the olive oil in a pan over a medium-low heat. Add the garlic, chilli flakes and tomato puree and stir to create a paste. Fry off for 2-3 minutes until smelling fragrant.

2

Pour in the butter beans with 2-3 tbsp of their bean stock. Stir to combine then add the spinach and cook until wilted.

3

Add the mascarpone and stir well to combine, until you reach a super creamy consistency. Add more of the bean stock to loosen, if necessary.

4

Tear in the fresh basil. Check for seasoning, adding black pepper and lemon to your taste.

5

Tumble the beans onto the toast. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, a squeeze of lemon and an extra pinch of chilli flakes, if you like it hot.
