Homemade Beans On Toast

Homemade beans on toast are packed with flavour and taste quite different to the canned variety.

They’re a wonderful treat, especially welcome and warming in winter.

To make this recipe in bulk, make a large batch of the sauce and freeze in lunchtime-sized portions.

Ingredients

Serves 4 as a lunch or light supper dish

400g haricot or cannellini beans, cooked
1 tin tomatoes
2 teaspoons tomato puree
1 medium onion
Handful fresh parsley or sage, finely chopped
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
¼ teaspoon each of ground cumin, ground coriander
2 teaspoons sugar or honey
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

 

Method

  1. Peel the onion, chop into quarters and slice finely.

  2. Heat the oil in the pan and sauté the onion gently. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, until very soft.

  3. Add the balsamic vinegar, spices and sugar or honey and stir well. Cook for a further 5 minutes.

  4. Liquidise the tomatoes with the tomato puree and add to the pan. Simmer, uncovered, until the sauce has thickened.

  5. Add the beans and chopped herbs and cook gently for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Serve on toast.
