By Phillippa Cheifitz

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 45 - 50 minutes

Ingredients

2 x 400 g cans butter beans
2 T olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 x 400g cans diced tomatoes
a few sprigs fresh rosemary
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 rounds feta, drained and dried
toasted ciabatta, for serving

3. Toss the spinach with 2 T olive oil, lemon juice and season to taste.
